A  CARD. 

In  presenting  this  REGISTER  to  the  people  of  Farmington, 
Milton  and  Wakefield,  we  wish  to  acknowledge  our  indebtedness 
for  historical  data  to  articles  written  by  Mrs.  Adelaide  Alley 
Waldron  and  Mr.  Ned  Parker  on  Farmington,  to  Mr.  Arthur 
Thad  Smith's  address  at  Milton's  Centennial  Celebration,  and 
to  the  Rev.  Albert  Thompson's  sketch  on  Wakefield  in  the  His- 
tory of  Carroll  County;  also  to  the  town  records  and  documents 
kindly  furnished  by  Messrs.  White,  Avery  and  Garvin,  the  clerks 
of  these  towns,  to  the  clerks  and  pastors  of  the  different  churches, 
and  to  all  the  various  sources  from  which  our  information  has 
been  obtained.  Realizing  the  limitations  of  space,  it  has  not 
been  possible  to  deal  with  minor  details,  the  purpose  being  to 
put  the  history  in  brief  form  into  the  great  majority  of  the 
homes  in  these  towns.  We  wish  to  thank  the  people  here  for 
their  cordial  encouragement  and  aid,  for  their  courtesy  and  good 
will,  in  a  word  for  the  way  in  which  they  have  "stood  behind" 
the  undertaking.  We  hope  that  they  will  find  the  REGISTER 
something  which  is  worth  while  and  for  the  most  part  authen- 
tic and  satisfactory. 


INTRODUCTION. 


The  group  of  towns  included  in  this  work,  are  located  in 
the  southeastern  section  of  the  State  of  New  Hampshire ;  Farm- 
ington  and  Milton  in  the  County  of  Strafford,  and  Wakefield  in 
the  County  of  Carroll. 

The  region  in  which  they  lie  is  for  the  most  part  hilly  and 
broken,  traversed  by  mountains  which  rise  to  a  considerable 
height,  and  divide  it  into  valley  and  small  plateaus,  through 
which  flow  many  beautiful  streams,  the  outlets  of  the  ponds  and 
lakes  in  which  this  section  abounds. 

It  is  a  picturesque  region,  only  a  few  miles  from  the  majes- 
tic Winnepesaukee,  and  within  sight  of  the  White  Mountains, 
whose  peaks  towering  far  into  the  heavens,  can  be  seen  by  the 
naked  eye  from  the  many  elevations  in  these  towns,  which  are 
just  far  enough  removed  from  the  "White  Hills"  to  be  outside 
the  mountain  country  on  the  north. 

Combining  the  attractions  of  hill  and  lake,  with  stretches 
of  low  land  and  valley,  this  region  has  many  attractions  for 
every  lover  of  the  beautiful  in  Nature.  Here,  centuries  ago,  the 
Indian  hunted  and  fished,  and  the  wild  beast  roamed  through 
the  forest  which  man  and  animal  shared  alike,  and  which 
extended  in  unbroken,  primeval  vastness  over  upland  and  low- 
land to  the  waters  of  the  sea. 

In  1623,  the  white  man  came,  and  made  the  earliest  settle- 
ment in  New  Hampshire,  at  Dover,  (Cocheco).  The  conflict 
between  the  races  which  so  soon  after  ensued,  continued  for  more 


10  INTRODUCTION 

than  a  hundred  years,  and  this  section  was  the  scene  of  many  a 
terrible  and  bloody  struggle,  like  that  which  occurred  when 
"The  Indian  hordes  came  down 
At  midnight  on  Cocheco  town." 

The  people  of  today  little  realize  how  great  were  the  hard- 
ships and  privations  which  their  forefathers  endured,  how  ter- 
rible were  the  years  of  suffering  and  conflict;  first  against  the 
wild  beasts  and  the  Indians ;  then  the  Indians  of  the  North  and 
their  allies,  the  French;  and  finally  against  England  to  secure 
the  liberty  and  freedom  without  which  life  is  not  worth  while. 

More  than  one  and  a  quarter  centuries  have  passed  since 
our  country  became  a  nation,  and  the  changes  that  have  come 
with  the  years  are  very  great. 

The  Indian  has  gone  forever  from  New  Hampshire,  swept 
away  by  the  superior  strength  and  numbers  of  the  white  con- 
querors, and  by  the  advance  of  civilization.  Sometimes  we 
unearth  here  and  there,  fragments  of  pottery,  a  bit  of  flint,  a 
weapon  perhaps,  these  are  all  that  remain  as  relics  of  a  departed 
race,  and  doubtless,  they  mingle  in  the  earth  with  the  dust  of 
their  former  owners.  The  wild  beasts,  too,  are  gone,  the  forests 
that  sheltered  them  have  melted  away.  The  old  Winnepe- 
saukee  trail,  which  the  Indian  followed  in  his  journeys  to  and 
from  the  interior  of  the  State,  and  the  region  to  the  north,  is 
traversed  by  the  railroad  of  modern  days;  the  bridle  paths  of 
the  settlers  have  given  way  to  roads  and  drives;  the  wigwams 
and  crude  villages  of  the  Indians,  and  the  little  clearings  of  the 
settlers,  have  been  replaced  by  well-tilled  farms,  broad  meadow 
lands,  and  villages ;  industry  and  commerce  rule  where  once  war 
and  bloodshed  occupied  men's  thoughts  and  stirred  them,  and 


INTRODUCTION  ll 

everywhere  is  manifest  the  onward  march  of  Progress. 

The  redman  is  gone,  and  as  he  passed  away,  so  we,  too, 
shall  go,  after  we  have  played  our  part  in  the  great  Theatre  of 
Life,  but  always  the  lordly  mountains  and  the  beautiful  lakes 
will  remain  for  our  descendants,  and  the  Piscataqua,  the  Salmon 
Falls,  the  Cocheco,  and  the  other  rivers  of  old  New  Hampshire 
will  flow  to  meet  the  sea,  and  to  tell  their  mother  there  of  the 
men  and  women  who  were  and  are,  and  how  well  they  per- 
formed their  mission. 


INDIAN  HISTORY. 


The  native  tribes  of  New  Hampshire  were  all  of  the  Abnaki 
nation;  but  probably  had  a  separate  government,  and  were  for 
the  most  part  independent  of  those  who  lived  in  what  is  now  the 
State  of  Maine.  The  Indians  were  divided  into  several  tribes, 
among  which  were  the  Pequaquaukes,  or  Pequawkets,  whose  ter- 
ritory embraced  a  part  of  Maine ;  the  Ossipees,  the  Squamscotts, 
the  Winnecowetts,  and  the  Piscataquas,  all  living  in  the  eastern 
section  of  the  State. 

The  population  of  these  tribes  is  not  definitely  known,  in 
fact  there  is  no  certainty  that  any  estimate  of  their  numbers  was 
ever  made  by  any  reliable  authority.  The  population,  however, 
was  sparse.  Here  and  there  at  remote  distances  was  located  a 
little  village ;  but  of  never  more  than  a  few  hundred  inhabitants. 

The  Indians  in  this  section  probably  acknowledged  as  their 
Great  Sagamore,  the  famous  Passaconaway,  whose  achievements 
and  powerful  reign  have  been  told  many  times  in  song  and  story. 
He  was  a  powerful  warrior,  an  eloquent  orator,  a  sachem  whose 
sagacity,  and  reputation  as  a  sorcerer  were  known  by  all  the 
redmen  in  this  part  of  the  country,  and  a  chief  whose  influence 
and  power  over  his  people  were  remarkable.  He  was  friendly 
toward  the  settlers  in  spite  of  their  unjust  usurpation  of  his 
lands,  and  wished  that  the  Indians  and  white  men  might  always 
live  in  friendship,  and  that  the  wars  might  cease. 

The  following  extract  from  his  farewell  address  to  his  war- 
riors in  1660,  makes  evident  his  view  of  the  relations  between 


INDIAN  HISTORY  13 

the  natives  and  the  white  men: 

"The  oak  will  soon  break  before  the  whirlwind, — it  shivers 
and  shakes  even  now;  soon  its  trunk  will  be  prostrate, — the  ant 
and  the  worm  will  sport  upon  it!  Then  think,  my  children,  of 
what  I  say!  I  commune  with  the  Great  Spirit.  He  whispers 
me  now:  'Tell  your  people,  Peace — peace,  is  the  only  hope  of 
your  race.  I  have  given  fire  and  thunder  to  the  pale-faces  for 
weapons, — I  have  made  them  plentier  than  the  leaves  of  the 
forest ;  and  still  shall  they  increase.  These  meadows  they  shall 
turn  with  the  plow, — these  forests  shall  fall  by  the  axe, — the 
pale-faces  shall  live  upon  your  hunting-grounds  and  make  their 
villages  upon  your  fishing  places.'  The  Great  Spirit  says  this, 
and  it  must  be  so!  We  are  few  and  powerless  before  them! 
We  must  bend  before  the  storm!  The  wind  blows  hard!  The 
old  oak  trembles,  its  branches  are  gone,  its  sap  is  frozen,  it  bends, 
it  falls!  Peace — peace,  with  the  white  man! — is  the  command 
of  the  Great  Spirit;  and  the  wish — the  last  wish,  of  Passacon- 
away. ' ' 

Wbnolanset,  his  son  and  successor,  heeded  his  advice,  and 
when  King  Philip's  war  broke  out  fifteen  years  later,  in  spite 
of  the  fact  that  practically  all  the  other  tribes  of  New  England 
engaged  in  the  war,  his  followers  withdrew  to  a  place  remote 
from  the  scenes  of  conflict.  In  1676,  however,  four  hundred 
Indians  who  had  been  invited  to  Cocheco  (Dover)  to  witness  a 
training  and  sham  fight,  were  seized  by  the  whites,  and  although 
the  Pennacooks  were  dismissed  unharmed,  the  indignity  was  too 
great  to  be  endured  and  disregarding  the  advice  of  the  dead 
Passaconaway  the  Pennacooks  went  on  the  war  path,  and  became, 
like  the  other  tribes,  the  bitter  foes  of  the  white  men. 


14  INDIAN  HISTORY 

The  usual  route  of  the  Indians  from  the  mountains  and  lakes 
to  the  white  settlements  was  by  the  Cocheco  and  Newichawannoc 
(Salmon  Falls)  rivers,  and  doubtless  the  territory  now  compris- 
ing these  towns  was  often  visited  by  them,  and  the  forests  that 
covered  it  often  rang  with  the  war-whoop  of  many  a  hostile 
band. 

Many  massacres  took  place  and  many  battles  were  fought 
between  the  redman  and  the  white  in  this  part  of  the  State. 
The  massacre  at  Dover,  in  which  Major  Waldron  was  brutally 
murdered,  took  place  June  27,  1689. 

The  Indian  war  called  "Love well's  War"  on  account  of  the 
exploits  of  Capt.  John  Lovewell,  began  in  1722.  Many  success- 
ful expeditions  against  the  Indians  took  place  under  his  leader- 
ship. Lovewell's  Pond  in  Wakefield  takes  its  name  from  Capt. 
Lovewell,  who  surprised  and  killed  ten  Pequawket  Indians  at 
that  place.  He  and  his  men,  however,  finally  were  attacked  from 
ambush  by  a  powerful  force  of  Indians  under  the  Chief  Paugus, 
near  the  pond,  and  after  a  long  and  bloody  fight,  he  and  many 
of  his  followers  were  slain. 

After  the  close  of  the  French  and  Indian  War  and  the 
increase  of  population  in  the  settlements,  few  Indians  remained 
in  New  Hampshire,  and  the  hostilities  between  the  redmen  and 
the  white  men  soon  ceased. 


History  of  FanminQton 


The  town  of  Farmington,  situated  near  the  center  of  Straf- 
ford  County,  New  Hampshire,  is  twenty-five  miles  from  the  State 
capital,  Concord,  and  eighteen  miles  northwest  of  Dover,  the 
county  seat  of  Strafford.  It  was  originally  a  part  of  Rochester, 
from  which  it  was  set  off  and  incorporated  December  1,  1798. 
The  area  of  the  township  is  about  21,000  acres,  a  large  portion 
of  which  is  covered  with  timber.  The  surface  is  broken,  and  the 
soil  difficult  to  cultivate,  though  on  the  margin  of  the  Cocheco 
river,  there  are  tracts  that  produce  excellent  crops. 

Extensions  of  the  Blue  Hills  are  included  within  the  town 
boundaries,  traversing  Farmington  from  north  to  south,  the  most 
important  elevations  of  which  are  known  as  Nubble,  Hussey, 
Chesley  and  Blue  Job  mountains.  The  last,  Blue  Job,  attains 
a  height  of  1,400  feet  above  the  sea  level,  and  on  a  clear  day  a 
view  of  the  White  Mountains,  Monadnock,  and  other  mountains 
to  the  north  and  west  can  be  seen  distinctly,  while  the  shipping 
in  and  off  Portsmouth  is  visible  to  the  naked  eye.  The  principal 
villages  are  Farmington,  West  Farmington  and  Merrill's  Cor- 
ner. The  Lake  Shore  branch  of  the  Boston  &  Maine  Railroad 
passes  through  the  first  and  most  important  village.  The  Cocheco 
and  Mad  rivers  flowing  through  the  town  afford  abundant  water 
power  for  the  manufacturing  industries,  to  which  principally 
Farmington  owes  her  prosperity  and  growth.  The  population  in 
1900  was  2,265,  but  has  increased  to  more  than  3,000  probably 
at  the  present  time. 


16  FARMINGTON 

EARLY  SETTLEMENT. 

Perhaps  the  earliest  settler  in  what  is  now  the  town  of  Farm- 
ington  was  a  Mr.  Berry,  who  built  a  log  house  in  the  south  part 
of  the  town  as  early  as  1770. 

The  first  frame  house  erected  here  was  built  in  1781,  for 
John  Roberts,  who  came  to  this  place  the  following  year  from 
Dover  Neck,  and  resided  here  many  years. 

Jonas  C.  March,  a  native  of  Portsmouth,  constructed  the 
second  frame  house  in  the  neighborhood,  some  time  prior  to  1792. 
He  was  the  son  of  Clement  March,  who,  tradition  has  it,  was 
a  giant  in  size,  and  one  who  commanded  the  greatest  respect 
from  his  fellow  townsmen.  It  is  said  that  the  sight  of  his  cane 
alone,  was  enough  to  awe  them.  Jonas  March  married  Sally, 
daughter  of  Judge  Aaron  Wingate,  and  after  her  death,  her 
sister  Lydia.  Mr.  March  was  one  of  the  earliest  merchants  in 
the  town.  It  is  very  probable  that  it  was  because  of  the  swamp 
behind  his  store,  and  the  unloading  of  lumber  on  the  platform, 
that  the  business  section  of  Farmington  received  the  name  of 
"The  Dock."  However,  it  is  thought  also,  that  the  name  owes 
its  origin  to  the  abundant  growth  of  weeds  ("dock")  in  that 
vicinity.  The  name  first  occurs  in  the  records  in  1792. 

Capt.  Richard  Waldron,  one  of  the  original  proprietors  of 
Rochester,  by  his  will  dated  August  26,  1777,  bequeathed  to  his 
sons,  John,  Joseph,  Richard,  Samuel  and  James,  certain  tracts 
of  land  and  water  privileges  in  this  township,  and  part,  at  least, 
of  the  property  lay  between  the  March  place,  and  the  lands  of 
John  Ham,  another  of  the  early  proprietors.  The  village  of 
Farmington  is  situated  on  the  Ham  place.  Benjamin  Jones 


HISTORICAL  17 

erected  a  "half -house"  next  to  Mr.  March's  place,  on  the  spot 
now  occupied  by  the  Congregational  Church.  Eleazer  Pearl  built 
his  residence  on  a  spot  facing  Central  street,  where  the  Odd 
Fellows  Hall  now  stands.  Nearby  was  the  house  which  Dr.  Ben- 
jamin Libby  occupied  upon  his  arrival  here  in  1800.  Lemuel 
Rand,  too,  constructed  a  house  at  the  village,  building  it  upon 
the  site,  where,  at  the  present  time  the  beautiful  residence  of 
Mrs.  Arianna  P.  Davis  is  situated.  John  Wingate,  Esq.,  built 
in  this  place  in  1800,  a  house  which  is  now  the  residence  of  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Charles  H.  Berry.  "Squire"  Wingate  was  a  black- 
smith, and  the  shop  where  he  carried  on  his  trade,  adjoined  the 
house.  Capt.  Josiah  Edgerly,  a  skilled  cabinet  maker  from  New 
Durham,  who  had  married  a  daughter  of  Col.  Thomas  Nash,  built 
a  shop  on  Main  street  about  the  year  1807. 

The  Hon.  Nathaniel  Eastman,  a  native  of  Gilmanton,  who 
had  married  a  sister  of  Gov.  Levi  Woodbury,  had  a  beautiful 
mansion  constructed  for  himself  in  the  village  in  1813.  Benja- 
min Canney  was  another  early  builder  in  the  village. 

Squire  Waldron,  whose  wife  was  Mary  Scott,  of  Machias, 
Maine,  lived  in  the  northern  part  of  the  town  where  he  built  a 
handsome  residence  in  1812.  Samuel  Jones,  the  Furbers,  Ben- 
jamin Chesley,  Paul  Demeritt  and  others  settled  near  Merrill's 
Corner  long  before  Farmington  became  a  town.  The  Leightons, 
who  came  here  from  Dover,  made  a  settlement  on  the  Ten  Rod 
Road ;  Moses  Home,  Caleb  Varney  and  Aaron  Wingate  on  Chest- 
nut Hill. 

William  Tibbetts  of  England  erected  the  first  frame  house 
on  the  New  Durham  Ridge  Road.  He  died  in  1788,  and  the 
property  has  come  down  to  Mr.  George  A.  Davis,  a  descendant. 


18  FARMINGTON 

Ancient  poplar  trees,  still  standing,  were  brought  here  by  Mr. 
Tibbetts. 

Just  below  Farmington  village  is  a  huge  boulder  weighing 
twelve  tons,  which  marks  the  site  of  the  little  house  where  Farm- 
ington's  great  statesman,  Henry  Wilson,  was  born  in  1812.  He 
was  the  son  of  Winthrop  and  Abigail  Colbath,  early  residents  of 
this  town,  and  was  named  for  another  early  resident,  Jeremiah 
Jones,  whose  daughter,  Mrs.  Clara  Augusta  Trask,  has  won  a 
very  high  place  among  American  woman  writers.  When  young 
Colbath  had  grown  to  manhood,  he  changed  his  name  from 
"Jeremiah  Jones  Colbath"  to  the  simpler  and  more  easily  spoken 
Henry  Wilson.  He  was  one  of  those  "self-made  men"  so  typi- 
cally American,  and  served  his  country  as  United  States  Senator 
from  Massachusetts,  and  as  Vice-President  of  the  nation  during 
the  second  administration  of  President  Grant. 

The  inventory  taken  by  the  selectmen  in  1799  gives  a  com- 
plete, though  partly  illegible  list  of  the  residents  in  the  town, 
and  the  names  copied  from  this  list  complete  the  account  of  the 
early  land  holders  and  residents.  In  1830,  there  were  fifteen 
frame  dwellings,  five  stores,  one  mill,  and  one  tavern  in  town.

INCORPORATION. 

The  town  of  Farmington  was  incorporated  by  act  of  the 
New  Hampshire  Legislature,  December  1,  1798.  Prior  to  that 
time  it  had  been  included  in  the  town  of  Rochester,  of  which  it 
formed  the  "North  West  Parish." 

Rochester,  embracing  not  only  its  present  territory  but  also 
that  which  now  forms  the  townships  of  Farmington  and  Milton, 
had  increased  so  much  in  population  that  it  became  very  diffi- 
cult to  assemble  the  citizens  from  so  large  an  area  for  civic 
meetings  and  the  like.  This  was  an  important  reason  for  divid- 
ing the  town,  but  the  primary  object  in  separating  the  North- 
west Parish  from  the  parent  town  was,  probably,  the  attainment 
of  greater  religious  liberty,  and  freedom  from  the  payment  of 
taxes  for  the  support  of  a  ministry,  which  on  account  of  their 
remoteness  from  Rochester  proper  the  citizens  of  Farmington 
were  unable  to  enjoy. 

In  1783,  the  people  of  Farmington  petitioned  to  be  set  off 
by  themselves.  This  request  was  not  granted,  however,  and  no 


HISTORICAL  21 

division  was  made.  The  agitation  for  a  separation  continued, 
and  after  several  additional  petitions  had  been  dismissed  and 
the  dissatisfaction  had  become  mutual  on  the  part  of  the  citizens 
of  the  "First  Parish"  (Rochester),  and  the  other  parishes 
(Farmington  and  Milton),  the  consent  of  the  town  was  finally 
voted  in  1798,  and  Farmington  was  incorporated  as  a  town. 
The  population  at  that  time  was  about  one  thousand  inhabitants. 

STATE  OF  NEW  HAMPSHIRE. — In  the  year  of  our  Lord  one 
thousand  seven  hundred  and  ninety-eight. 

An  Act  to  incorporate  that  part  of  the  Town  of  Rochester, 
in  the  County  of  Stratford,  commonly  called  the  Northwest  Par- 
ish into  a  separate  town  by  the  name  of  Farmington. 

Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives 
in  general  court  convened,  that  the  lands  and  inhabitants  con- 
tained within  the  northwesterly  part  of  said  Rochester,  as 
described  within  the  following  lines  and  boundaries  (to  wit)  : 
Beginning  at  a  stake  standing  upon  Barrington  line,  twenty-two 
rods  northwesterly  from  the  outlet  of  Pickeral  Pond  (so  called) , 
thence  running  upon  a  straight  line  across  lot  numbered  forty- 
nine  in  the  second  division  till  it  strikes  the  range  line  between 
lots  numbered  thirty-six  and  thirty-seven  in  said  second  division, 
thence  running  upon  said  range  line  about  northeasterly  till  it 
strikes  the  southeast  corner  of  lot  numbered  fifty-one  in  the  said 
second  division,  thence  turning  at  right  angles  with  said  range 
line  and  running  from  said  corner  about  northwest  upon  the 
westerly  side  of  the  four  rod  range  road  to  the  head  line  of  the 
said  second  division,  thence  upon  the  range  line  which  divides 
lots  numbered  four  and  six,  three  and  five,  and  ninety-eight  and 


22  FARMINGTON 

ninety-nine,  in  the  third  division,  to  Middleton  line,  thence  upon 
said  Middleton  line  about  southwesterly  till  it  strikes  the  north- 
easterly corner  of  Barrington,  thence  upon  the  division  line  of 
said  Barrington  and  the  said  Town  of  Rochester  to  the  bounds 
first  mentioned,  be  and  they  hereby  are  incorporated  into  a  sep- 
arate town  by  the  name  of  Farmington,  and  the  said  Town  of 
Farmington  is  hereby  invested  with  all  the  powers,  privileges, 
and  immunities  to  which  other  towns  in  this  State  are  or  may 
be  entitled,  agreeable  to  the  Constitution  and  Laws  of  this  State, 
to  have  continuance  and  succession  forever. 

The  first  town  meeting  was  held  March  11,  1799,  at  the 
house  of  Simon  Dame,  in  accordance  with  the  notification  made 
out  to  the  free  holders  and  inhabitants  of  the  town,  February  23, 
1799.  Judge  Aaron  Wingate  served  as  moderator.  Jonas  C. 
Marsh  was  elected  town  clerk;  Ichabod  Hayes,  Lieut.  Ephraim 
Kimball,  and  David  Roberts,  selectmen.  The  largest  number  of 
votes  cast  at  this  meeting  was  141. 

The  total  collection  of  taxes  for  the  year  1799,  Farmington 's 
first  as  a  town,  amounted  to  $597.45.  The  balance  of  receipts 
over  expenditures  for  the  year  was  $92.47.  The  selectmen 
received  $3.00  each  for  their  services;  a  Mr.  Genn  was  paid  in 
part  for  preaching,  $54.00;  Capt.  Furber's  bill  for  the  use  of 
his  barn  took  $1.66  from  the  funds  and  William  Knight  received 
$3.00,  the  full  amount  paid  for  the  use  of  his  barn.

ECCLESIASTICAL  ACCOUNT. 

Religious  services  were  held  in  Farmington  as  early  as  1797, 
and  conducted  in  barns  by  Benj.  Green,  then  preceptor  of  Ber- 
wick Academy,  afterwards  a  lawyer  and  judge.  He  was  a  very 


HISTORICAL  27 

eloquent  preacher,  it  is  said,  and  people  flocked  from  all  the 
country  round  to  hear  him.  No  church  was  formed,  however, 
until  1819,  when  James  Walker  from  Concord  preached  alter- 
nately at  Farmington  and  Milton. 

The  first  meetinghouse  in  this  town  stood  on  "Meeting- 
house Hill,"  south  of  the  village,  and  near  the  centre  of  the 
town.  It  remained  unfinished  about  fifty  years,  when  it  was 
removed  to  Rochester. 

In  1834,  a  meetinghouse  was  built  a  short  distance  below  the 
village  by  several  denominations,  who  united  in  the  undertak- 
ing, but  no  regular  preaching  was  maintained  till  six  years 
later,  at  which  time  the  people  received  aid  from  the  New  Hamp- 
shire Missionary  Society. 

FIRST  CONGREGATIONAL  CHURCH. 

This  church  was  organized  in  1819,  with  the  Rev.  James 
Walker  as  pastor,  and  a  membership  of  eight  persons.  In  1844, 
a  Congregational  church  was  dedicated  in  Farmington.  It  had 
been  erected  on  Central  Street  on  land  given  in  trust  by  the  Hon. 
G.  L.  Whitehouse,  to  be  held  by  the  parish  so  long  as  used  for 
religious  purposes.  This  structure  becoming  too  small  for  the 
membership  of  the  church,  a  larger  edifice  was  built  in  1870,  on 
Main  street.  It  was  a  beautiful  church,  and  cost,  when  com- 
pletely furnished,  about  $25,000.  It  was  destroyed  by  the  great 
fire  of  1875,  and  was  replaced  by  the  present  commodious  brick 
edifice  in  the  tower  of  which  is  the  town  clock.  The  steeple, 
towering  fifty  feet  above  the  clock  tower,  contains  a  fine  toned 
bell  which  weighs  more  than  a  ton.  The  church  was  dedicated 
March  8,  1876.  The  pastors  who  remained  longest  at  the  church 


28  FARMINGTON 

were  the  Revs.  James  Walker,  D.  D.  Tappan,  D.D.,  Walter  E. 
Darling,  who  came  in  1877,  and  remained  many  years,  and  Roger 
M.  Sargent.  Other  pastors  have  been,  the  Revs.  Clement  Par- 
ker, who  succeeded  Mr.  Walker,  the  first  pastor  of  the  church; 
S.  H.  Goodwin,  who  came  in  1893 ;  I.  W.  Sweet,  whose  pastorate 
began  about  1897,  to  continue  throughout  a  period  of  many 
years;  Arthur  L.  Golder,  who  was  here  in  1901;  and  Edward 
D.  Disbrow,  who  remained  until  the  fall  of  1907. 

FREE  BAPTIST  CHURCH. 

The  first  Free  Baptist  Church  was  organized  in  1854,  with 
the  Rev.  Dexter  Waterman  as  pastor.  Meetings  were  held  in 
the  meetinghouse  on  Peavey  Hill,  where  the  Congregationalists 
worshipped.  During  the  pastorate  of  Mr.  Waterman  the  church 
membership  increased  to  thirty-two.  He  resigned  in  1856,  and 
was  succeeded  by  Rev.  J.  M.  L.  Babcock,  who  remained  until 
1858.  A  new  church  was  erected  in  1857,  and  dedicated  in 
October  of  the  same  year.  The  Rev.  D.  P.  Cilley,  who  was  the 
next  pastor  of  the  church,  remained  until  1861,  when  he  was 
appointed  Chaplain  of  Eighth  New  Hampshire  Vols.  The  Rev. 
Ezekiel  True  succeeded  Mr.  Cilley  and  remained  until  1866. 

The  Rev.  S.  N.  Tufts,  the  next  pastor,  closed  his  pastorate  in 
1870,  and  the  Rev.  G.  M.  Parks,  now  of  Presque  Isle,  Maine, 
became  pastor  of  the  church.  The  church  was  enlarged  in  1871, 
and  the  next  year  a  bell  tower  and  steeple  were  constructed. 
The  Rev.  Mr.  Parks  remained  until  Nov.  1,  1874,  when  he  closed 
his  pastorate,  leaving  the  church  free  from  debt,  and  with  the 
knowledge  of  faithful  service  attested  by  the  ninety-two  persons 
who  joined  the  church  and  the  seventy-four  baptisms  among  that 


HISTORICAL  29 

number.  The  Rev.  David  H.  Adams  was  the  next  to  take  this 
pastorate,  entering  upon  his  labors  Jan.  1,  1875.  During  his 
ministry  here  he  solemnized  74  marriages,  and  was  called  to 
attend  216  funerals.  Mr.  Adams'  successor,  the  Rev.  C.  A. 
Bickford,  D.D.,  who  afterwards  became  editor  of  the  "Morning 
Star,"  came  in  the  fall  of  1878,  and  remained  two  years,  at  the 
end  of  which  time  the  Rev.  Mr.  Adams  returned  to  the  church. 
He  remained  two  and  a  half  years.  From  August,  1883,  to  May, 
1884,  the  society  was  without  a  pastor.  At  the  end  of  this  time, 
the  Rev.  Thomas  Spooner  came  to  begin  a  pastorate  which  con- 
tinued for  four  years.  Extensive  repairs  and  renovations  cost- 
ing about  $2,500  were  made  during  the  ministry  of  the  Rev. 
Mr.  Spooner.  The  Rev.  Geo.  L.  White,  enjoyed  four  years  of 
endeavor  and  success  here,  after  which  he  accepted  a  call  to  the 
church  at  New  Hampton.  The  Rev.  J.  S.  Harrington,  an  able 
man,  came  next.  He  remained  seven  years,  when  he  was  suc- 
ceeded by  the  Rev.  Frank  Pearson,  a  very  worthy  successor,  who 
remained  four  years. 

Following  Mr.  Pearson's  pastorate,  the  Rev.  J.  H.  Wilkins 
came  in  May,  1903.  This  gentleman  is  the  present  able  pastor 
of  the  church,  which,  with  a  large  and  active  membership,  enjoys 
a  prosperity  which  compares  excellently  with  that  of  the  most 
prosperous  of  the  Free  Baptist  denomination. 

ADVENT  CHURCH. 

This  society,  the  members  of  which  worship  in  the  chapel 
on  Union  street,  has  held  regular  meetings  here  for  many  years, 
but  had  no  regular  pastor  until  recent  years.  Among  its  mem- 
bers are  one  or  two  of  the  leaders  in  the  movement  that  estab- 


30  FARMINGTON 

lished   the    campground   at   Alton   Bay,    where    many   largely 
attended  and  successful  meetings  have  been  held. 

The  Rev.  B.  J.  Glazier  was  pastor  for  several  years,  and  was 
succeeded  by  Elder  Joy,  the  present  pastor  of  the  church.  The 
society,  though  not  enjoying  so  large  a  membership  as  its  sister 
churches  in  Farmington,  is  in  a  very  prosperous  condition  and 
exerts  a  very  great  and  very  worthy  influence  for  the  spiritual 
and  moral  welfare  of  the  people  of  this  town. 


There  was  a  Quaker  meeting  house  in  the  early  days  of  the 
town,  but  services  are  not  held  here  now  as  the  number  of  Friends 

in  Farmington  is  small. 


INDUSTRIAL    HISTORY. 

Farmington  was  a  pioneer  town  of  New  Hampshire  in  the 
manufacture  of  boots  and  shoes,  and  this  has  been  the  principal 
industry  of  the  town  for  many  years.  Though  not  so  fortunate 
as  many  other  towns  of  this  section  of  the  State  in  the  possession 
of  great  water  power,  the  manufacturing  industries  of  the  town, 
through  the  indormitable  purpose  and  perseverance  of  the  early 
manufacturers,  have  been  and  still  are  among  the  most  important 
in  this  State. 

In  the  early  part  of  the  last  century,  Hon.  Geo.  L.  White- 
house  dug  a  canal  nearly  a  mile  long,  and  in  1839  erected  a  fac- 
tory in  which  he  combined  the  manufacture  of  cotton  yarn,  with 


HISTORICAL  31 

that  of  shingles  and  clapboards,  and  operated  a  grist  mill.  The 
mill  afterwards  came  into  the  possession  of  J.  W.  Waldron,  and 
was,  a  few  years  ago,  transformed  by  the  owner,  J.  F.  Cloutman, 
into  an  electric  light  station. 

Even  prior  to  the  construction  of  the  Whitehouse  canal,  and 
as  early  as  1830,  there  was  a  mill  in  the  village,  and  Elijah  H. 
Badger  was  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  shoes.  Farmington 
had  attained  some  little  prominence  as  a  shoe  town  even  before 
the  Civil  War,  the  "brogans,"  being  made  by  many  of  the  towns- 
people by  hand.  With  the  close  of  the  war  and  the  introduction 
of  machinery,  conditions  changed,  but  the  citizens  of  the  town 
met  the  new  aspect  of  affairs,  erected  factories,  filled  them  with 
machinery,  and  continued  to  make  shoes,  and  a  large  quantity  of 
them,  with  the  result  that  a  hustling  manufacturing  centre  was 
formed.  Seventeen  factories  were  in  operation  at  one  time,  and 
the  production  has  been  well  kept  up. 

Elijah  Badger's  venture  as  a  shoe  man  was  one  of  fair  suc- 
cess, and  Martin  L.  Hayes,  a  native  of  Farmington,  determined 
to  undertake  the  business,  and  was  very  successful  in  the  enter- 
prise. G.  M.  Herring  of  Framingham,  Mass.,  began  to  manu- 
facture shoes  here  at  about  the  same  time  (1837).  Other  early 
manufacturers  were :  The  Roberts  Brothers,  Alonzo,  Jeremy  and 
C.  W.  Nute,  Jas.  B.  Edgerly,  Luther  Wentworth,  H.  B.  Edgerly, 
Israel  Hayes,  Wm.  Johnson,  N.  T.  Kimball  and  John  L.  Pratt, 
John  H.  Hurd,  C.  W.  Thurston,  Geo.  A.  and  Edwin  F.  Jones, 
E.  O.  Curtis,  E.  C.  Kinnear,  John  M.  Berry,  John  F.  Cloutman, 
A.  E.  Putnam  and  D.  W.  Kimball. 

In  1874,  the  wooden  factory  of  Alonzo  Nute,  opened  in  1849 
by  Nute  Bros.,  was  destroyed  by  fire;  but  with  the  energy  and 


32  FARMINGTON 

determination  for  which  he  was  noted,  Mr.  Nute  began  the  con- 
struction of  a  new  factory,  with  the  result  that  a  large  brick 
building,  32x185  feet,  four  stories  high,  was  erected  in  a  very 
short  time,  on  the  site  of  the  factory  which  had  been  burned. 
After  1875,  Eugene  P.  and  A.  Irving  Nute  became  their  father's 
partners. 

Many  of  the  shoe  firms  which  had  enjoyed  the  greatest  pros- 
perity prior  to  the  panic  of  1893,  not  long  afterward,  for  one 
reason  or  another,  suspended  operations,  among  them  those  of 
G.  A.  Jones,  I.  Hayes  &  Sons,  A.  Nute  &  Sons,  Cloutman  & 
Bingham,  and  Wallace,  Elliott  &  Co.  Following  the  closing  of 
these  factories,  Drew's  underwear  mill  was  burned,  leaving  only 
two  large  manufacturing  concerns  in  Farmington,  the  pro- 
prietors of  the  Edgerly  factory,  and  J.  F.  Cloutman  &  Co. 

The  people  of  Farmington  did  not  lose  courage,  however, 
and  soon  started  several  industries  to  replace  those  which  had 
been  lost.  Through  the  co-operation  of  the  Farmnigton  Improve- 
ment Association  and  the  local  Board  of  Trade  a  corporation 
which  had  purchased  the  Nute  factory,  the  Farmington  Shoe 
Co.  was  organized  and  with  its  two  factories  has  become  one  of 
the  largest  and  most  important,  as  well  as  one  of  the  most  suc- 
cessful industries  in  town.. 

The  factories  in  which  the  company  are  located  were  pur- 
chased of  the  Wallace,  Elliott  &  Co.  shoe  firm  of  New  York. 
They  were  erected  by  the  late  Hon.  John  F.  Cloutman,  who  sold 
them  to  Wallace,  Elliott  &  Co.  The  first  and  larger  one  was 
built  in  1877;  and  the  second  in  1884.  Each  factory  is  four 
stories  high.  They  are  connected  by  a  large  inclosed  passage 
and  really  form  a  big  double  factory.  The  firm  does  a  very  large 


HISTORICAL  33 

business,  and  employs  about  250  persons  at  present,  with  a 
weekly  pay  roll  of  nearly  $2,500.  The  average  weekly  produc- 
tion of  shoes  is  about  600  dozen  pairs,  valued  at  about  $25  a 
dozen.  The  firm's  Boston  office  is  at  165  Lincoln  Street.  The 
officers  are :  President,  Elisha  James,  Jr. ;  Treasurer,  E.  W.  Cox ; 
General  Manager,  E.  O.  Teague;  Superintendent,  W.  S.  Fraser. 

The  large  H.  B.  Edgerly  factory  has  been  in  successful 
operation  for  many  years,  and  is  now  the  property  of  F.  E. 
Edgerly,  only  son  of  the  original  proprietor,  and  his  partner, 
C.  E.  Aldrich  of  Boston. 

The  Berry  factory  and  the  Nute  factory  on  Main  Street, 
which  are  occupied  by  J.  F.  Cloutman,  Jr.,  and  by  the  Thayer, 
Osborne  Shoe  Co.,  are  in  constant  operation. 

On  the  site  of  the  old  Hayes  mill  just  below  the  village,  is 
the  two-story  factory  where  John  R.  Hayes  manufactures  shook 
and  lumber.  A  number  of  men  are  employed  at  the  mill,  and 
the  business  has  become  extensive.  In  close  proximity  to  this 
mill  is  the  knife  factory  of  F.  W.  Coburn,  Jr.  Here  a  pros- 
perous business  in  the  manufacture  of  knives  is  carried  on,  and 
the  products  of  the  factory  have  a  wide  reputation  for  their 
quality. 

Charles  W.  Jenness,  who  began  the  manufacture  of  shook 
about  1880,  conducts  a  large  and  successful  carton  business,  and 
manufactures  shook  at  his  mill  on  East  Grove  Street,  which 
originally  one  of  small  size,  is  now  among  the  largest  of  the 
kind  in  this  section  of  the  State.  John  H.  Jenness  is  connected 
with  his  brother  in  manufacturing  interests. 

On  the  same  street  is  the  last  factory  of  the  late  A.  W. 
Flanders,  where  that  gentleman  once  conducted  an  excellent 


34  FARMINGTON 

business. 

The  M.  L.  Hayes  building  on  Central  Street,  occupied  suc- 
cessively by  J.  R.  Hayes,  and  the  heel  business  of  J.  E.  Hayes 
&  Son,  is  n<5w  the  brush  factory  of  F.  W.  Brown.  In  the  Jones 
factory  on  Main  Street  the  Nutter  Co.  carries  on  an  extensive 
business  in  the  manufacture  of  heels. 

The  carriage  and  sleigh  factory  and  repository  of  B.  F. 
Perkins  is  on  the  corner  of  High  and  Central  Streets,  on  the 
site  of  the  late  Alvin  Tibbetts'  lath  and  woodwork  mill. 

The  Mortimer  Shoe  Co.  began  the  manufacture  of  shoes  in 
the  Nute  factory,  about  four  years  ago,  but  remained  in  this 
town  only  a  short  time. 

It  is  worth  while  in  passing,  to  mention  the  fact  that  the 
first  wax-thread  sewing  machine  used  in  New  Hampshire  was 
brought  to  Farmington  by  the  late  Hon.  J.  F.  Cloutman,  who 
began  the  manufacture  of  shoes  in  1854. 

With  this  account  of  Farmington 's  industries,  the  subject 
may  be  closed.  This  town  may  well  be  proud  of  her  growth 
and  prosperity  as  a  manufacturing  village,  and  of  the  splendid 
way  in  which  her  citizens  have  met  and  triumphed  over  reverses 
and  vicissitudes  in  the  upbuilding  of  an  industrial  centre. 


MILITARY  ACCOUNT. 

REVOLUTION. 

General  Richard  Furber,  by  whom  the  town  of  Farmington 
was  named,  acted  as  adjutant  or  aide-de-camp  at  the  surrender 
of  Burgoyne  at  Saratoga  in  1777,  later  rose  to  the  rank  of  gen- 


HISTOKICAL  35 

eral.  He  lived  at  Merrill's  Corner  where  he  died  in  1848,  at 
the  age  of  ninety-five  years.  Several  other  Farmington  men 
served  during  the  war,  but  as  this  town  was  a  part  of  Rochester 
at  that  time  it  is  very  difficult  to  ascertain  who  they  were. 
Enoch  Burnham  was  a  sergeant  in  Capt.  John  Brewster's  com- 
pany of  Col.  Pierre  Long's  regiment  stationed  at  Newcastle  from 
Aug.  7,  1776,  to  Jan.  7,  1777.  Members  of  this  company,  in 
which  Isaac  Libby  and  several  other  Farmington  soldiers  were 
enlisted,  joined  the  Northern  Army  in  January,  1777,  and  were 
stationed  at  Fort  Independence  near  Ticonderoga. 

Daniel  Horn,  Ebenezer  Home,  Lieut.  John  Ham,  Jonathan 
Frengh.  Joseph  Plummer,  Samuel  Jones  and  Benj.  Furber  (?) 
are  names  found  on  the  records  which  indicate  that  Farmington 
sent  many  men  into  the  service  during  the  seven  long  years  of 
the  war. 


In  the  wars  that  followed  the  War  for  Independence, 
Farmington  had  many  representatives  who  upheld  the  military 
record  of  the  town,  but  it  is  in  the  War  of  the  Rebellion  that 
she,  like  her  sister  town,  Milton,  has  won  the  greatest  glory,  and 
secured  the  most  renown. 

FARMINGTON  IN  THE  REBELLION. 

When  in  April,  1861,  Fort  Sump'ter  fell,  and  the  great 
struggle  of  the  War  of  the  Rebellion  began,  the  patriotism  and 
loyalty  of  the  citizens  of  Farmington  responded  nobly  to  the 
President's  call  to  arms  for  the  preservation  of  the  Union. 

The  records  show  that  232  men  responded  and  are  credited 
to  this  town,  most  of  whom  belonged  here.  In  this  list  will  be 


36  FARMINGTON 

found  the  names  of  many  who  are  numbered  with  the  dead,  for 
very  many  of  them  lost  their  lives  in  the  service  of  their  country. 
It  is  not  necessary  here  to  recount  in  detail  the  services  which 
these  men  rendered  in  the  four  long  years  of  suffering  and  con- 
flict. It  is  all  familiar  to  the  people  of  this  town,  sons  and 
daughters,  of  the  noble  men  who  left  their  homes  and  loved  ones 
to  do  their  share  for  the  cause  of  Liberty  and  Right,  and  the 
people  of  this  town  knowing  that  record,  glory  in  the  fact  that 
Farmington's  response  was  ready  and  loyal,  and  that  their 
fathers  were  not  afraid  to  go  forth  to  battle  and  if  necessary 
to  die.  Let  us  but  remember  as  we  read  the  roll,  that  we  owe 
all  that  we  possess  to  them,  and,  let  us  linger  a  moment  over 
the  roll  of  the  brave  and  true  soldiers  whose  names  are  recorded 
here. 

THE  ROLL  CALL. 

Col.  Ralph  Carlton,  killed  July  17,  1862 ;  Capt.  A.  W.  Hayes ; 
Capt.  G.  H.  Richardson;  Capt.  G.  B.  Johnson;  Capt.  G.  H. 
Smith;  Rev.  Daniel  P.  Cilley,  chaplain  from  1861  to  1865; 
Quartermaster-Gen.  Alonzo  Nute,  Sixth  N.  H.  Vols.,  served  also 
on  Gen.  Hawkins'  staff  of  the  Ninth  N.  Y.  Zouaves. 


PROFESSIONAL   MEN. 

PHYSICIANS. 

The  first  resident  physician  in  Farmington  was  Dr.  Benja- 
min Libby,  who  located  here  in  1800,  setting  up  an  office  in 
the  store  which  afterwards  was  made  into  a  dwelling  house  for 


HISTORICAL  37 

Lemuel  Rand.  Dr.  Libby  entered  the  army  in  1812.  He  left 
Farmington  in  1816. 

Dr.  David  T.  Parker  was  another  of  Farmington 's  early 
physicians.  His  practice  continued  in  this  town  more  than  fifty 
years.  Dr.  Parker's  wife,  too,  was  very  skillful,  and  was  called 
by  the  whole  community  "Mother  Parker."  Dr.  Parker,  the 
senior  doctor's  son,  was  a  physician  here  also. 

Other  physicians  have  been:  A.  M.  Winn,  0.  B.  Hanson, 
W.  A.  Hersom,  Rufus  B.  Foss,  W.  H.  Nute  of  Exeter,  Warren 
P.  Blake,  who  removed  to  Springfield,  Mass.,  John  P.  Elkins, 
who  died  Sept.  7,  1895,  his  brother,  J.  S.  Elkins,  Preston  B. 
and  John  Young,  John  S.  Parker  of  Lebanon,  Me.,  brother  of 
David  T.  and  his  elder  son,  John  C.  Parker,  now  of  Providence, 
R.  I.,  who  was  succeeded  by  Dr.  Frank  W.  Blair  of  Boothbay 
Harbor,  Me.,  and  Dr.  H.  P.  Wheatley,  who  has  been  here  many 
years.  Dr.  G.  H.  Gray  of  Lynn,  Mass.,  Dr.  E.  P.  Huntress  of 
Derry,  Drs.  Alvin  and  Roger  S.  York,  Dr.  Daniel  P.  Cilley  now 
at  Westboro,  Mass.,  were  formerly  of  this  town. 

The  father  of  the  brothers  Elkins  was  also  a  physician.  It 
is  indeed  remarkable  that  a  town  should  have  so  many  instances 
of  brothers  following  the  same  profession  and  of  sons  taking 
up  that  of  their  fathers. 

Dr.  Geo.  W.  Ellison,  who  came  here  from  Providence,  R.  I., 
about  a  year  ago;  Dr.  C.  C.  Rogers,  who  came  here  from  Union 
several  years  ago;  Dr.  E.  C.  Perkins,  who  came  from  Maine 
about  four  or  five  years  ago;  Dr.  R.  H.  Greeley,  a  native  of 
Swanville,  Me.,  and  a  Bowdoin  graduate,  who  has  been  in  prac- 
tice about  nine  or  ten  years  in  this  town,  and  Dr.  C.  0.  Smith, 
who  came  in  the  fall  of  1907,  complete  the  list  of  able  physicians 
who  have  practised  here. 


38  FARMINGTON 

LAWYERS  AND  STATESMEN. 

In  the  list  of  statesmen  which  Farmington  has  given  to  the 
State  and  Nation,  the  names  of  four  men,  perhaps,  stand  forth 
most  prominently :  Nehemiah  Eastman,  Joseph  Hammons,  Alonzo 
Nute,  and  Henry  Wilson.  Hon.  Nehemiah  Eastman  was  a  dis- 
tinguished lawyer  of  Strafford  County,  State  Senator  from  1820 
to  1824,  and  representative  in  Congress  during  the  years  1825-27. 

Dr.  Joseph  Hammons,  who  was  the  only  physician  in  this 
town  for  many  years,  was  in  Congress  1829-33. 

Hon.  Alonzo  Nute,  a  manufacturer,  was  an  officer  in  the 
Civil  War,  in  which  he  rendered  distinguished  service,  State 
Senator  in  1867-68,  and  later,  was  a  Representative  in  Congress 
from  this  State. 

Hon.  Henry  Wilson,  born  a  poor  farmer  lad  in  1812,  through 
his  individual  enterprise  and  great  natural  ability,  rose  to  the 
office  of  United  States  Senator  from  Massachusetts,  and  later 
to  the  second  highest  office  in  the  gift  of  the  Nation,  Vice- 
President  of  the  United  States,  during  the  second  administra- 
tion of  President  Grant. 

Farmington  has  had  and  still  has  many  lawyers  of  ability 
no  less  great.  On  the  records  we  find  the  names  of  George  N. 
Eastman,  Col.  Louis  Bell,  E.  F.  Cloutman,  Weeks  of  Ossipee, 
E.  H.  Shannon  of  Laconia,  G.  E.  Cochrane  of  Rochester,  Frank 
Emerson,  Charles  Leighton  of  Lynn,  Mass.,  A.  H.  Wiggin,  I.  E. 
Pearl,  H.  C.  Waldron,  now  superintendent  of  schools  in  West- 
boro,  Mass.,  and  S.  S.  Parker. 

E.  B.  Hayes  of  Farmington  practised  law  in  Manchester 
several  years  ago.

SOCIETIES  AND  ORGANIZATIONS. 

WILSON  GUARDS. — The  former  local  military  organization, 
Company  F,  Second  Regt.,  N.  H.  N.  G.,  first  went  into  camp  at 
Concord  under  the  command  of  Capt.  Joseph  B.  Cilley,  who  at 
his  death  in  1866,  was  succeeded  by  Lieut.  E.  W.  Emerson. 
Capt.  Chas.  H.  Pitman,  the  next  commander,  after  a  long  period 
of  leadership,  was  succeeded  by  Capt.  Herman  J.  Pike  in  1895, 
who  remained  in  that  office  until  the  company  disbanded. 

CARLTON  POST,  G.  A.  R.,  was  organized  May  24,  1882,  replac- 
ing one  which  had  been  formed  shortly  after  the  war.  The 
membership  has  never  been  large,  as  so  many  veterans  of  the 
great  struggle  of  the  Rebellion  have  passed  to  the  Great  Beyond, 
but  the  ' '  old  soldiers ' '  have  always  taken  a  great  interest  in  this 
little  branch  of  the  Grand  Army,  and  the  Post  has  enjoyed  a 
very  flourishing  period  of  activity. 

The  fraternal  and  social  organizations  of  Farmington  are 
many,  and  we  regret  that  limited  space  prevents  a  complete  his- 
tory of  each,  and  a  list  of  all  the  officers.  An  alphabetical  list 
is  as  follows: —

FARMINGTON  PUBLIC  LIBRARY. — The  first  library  association 
in  this  town  was  organized  in  1853.  On  January  1,  1891,  a  pub- 
lic library  and  reading  room  was  opened  by  an  association  here, 
and  has  its  present  location  in  the  Opera  House.  The  first  pres- 
ident of  the  association  was  Isaac  E.  Pearl,  Esq.  The  library 
contains  several  thousand  volumes,  which  are  free  to  the  people 
of  the  town,  and  in  constant  circulation.  It  is  open  every  secular

Central  and  Main  Streets,  and  is  issued  every  week.  E.  H. 
Thomas  is  the  publisher.

having  been  appropriated  for  its  construction,  and  has  been  the

when  Sol  Smith  Russell  in  "Edge wood  Folks,"  was  the  attrac-

Census- 19O  7 


The  population  of  the  towns  of  Farmington,  Milton, 
Wakefleld,  Middleton  and  Brookfield  has  been  arranged  in 
families  where  that  arrangement  has  been  possible  In  ad- 
dition to  the  resident  living  members,  the  names  of  the  non- 
resident members  are  included.  It  should  be  borne  in  mind 
that  this  plan  does  not  include  the  names  of  all  former  resi- 
dents of  this  town,  as  the  names  of  the  non-residents  appear 
only  when  one  or  both  of  the  parents  are  still  living  in  the 
town.  After  the  name  of  each  non-resident  will  be  found 
the  present  address,  when  such  address  has  been  given  to  us. 
Non-residents  are  indicated  by  the  (*). 

When  a  daughter  in  a  family  has  married,  her  name 
taken  in  marriage  appears  after  her  given  name  in  parenthe- 
sis, the  name  preceded  by  a  small  m,  thus:  (m  ). 

Following  the  names  of  the  population  is  the  occupations.

viations and  contractions,  as  follows:  Farmer — far;  car- 
penter—car; railroad  service — R  R  ser;  student,  a  member 
of  an  advanced  institution  of  learning — stu;  pupil,  a  member 
of  a  lower  grade  of  schools  (including  all  who  have  reached 
the  age  of  five  years)— pi;  housework — ho;  laborer — lab; 
physician  and  surgeon — phy  &  sur;  clergyman — clerg;  mer- 
chant— mer;  teacher— tr;  blacksmith — blk;  clerk— cl;  book- 
keeper— bk  kpr;  lawyer — law;  mechanic  mech;  machinist- 
mach;  engineer-eng;  maker — mkr;  worker — wkr;-work — wk;

History  of  milton 


Milton,  in  the  north-eastern  section  of  Strafford  County, 
is  an  irregular  township  of  27,000  acres,  forty  miles  from  the 
State  capital,  Concord,  and  twenty  miles  north-west  from  Dover, 
the  county  seat.  It  is  the  youngest  town,  except  Rollinsford  in 
the  county  of  Strafford,  having  been  originally  a  portion  of  the 
town  of  Rochester,  from  which  it  was  set  off  and  incorporated 
June  11,  1802. 

The  surface  is  comparatively  level,  except  that  section  of 
the  town  traversed  by  Teneriffe  Mountain,  and  the  soil  is  good 
for  pasturage.  Milton  is  an  agricultural,  as  well  as  a  manu- 
facturing community,  and  a  large  percentage  of  the  inhabitants 
are  engaged  in  farming,  while  stock,  too,  is  raised  to  some 
extent. 

Milton  Three  Ponds  are  the  principal  bodies  of  water, 
forming  with  the  Salmon  Falls  river  a  chain  of  lakes.  The 
river  itself  runs  along  the  whole  eastern  boundary,  uniting 
near  the  centre  of  the  town  line  with  one  of  its  branches  which 
crosses  from  the  south  part  of  the  town  of  Wakefield. 

The  principal  villages  are  Milton  and  Milton  Mills ;  both 
are  on  the  boundary  line  of  New  Hampshire  and  Maine,  and 
are  important  industrial  centres.  Milton  is  on  the  North  Con- 
way  branch  of  the  Boston  &  Maine  Railroad;  Milton  Mills  is 
connected  by  a  stage  line  with  the  railroad  at  Union  Village 
in  Wakefield.  The  population  in  1900  was  1625. 


HISTORICAL  91 

EARLY  SETTLEMENT. 

The  original  settlers  in  Milton  came  principally  from 
Dover,  Madbury,  Rochester  and  towns  in  that  vicinity,  and 
were  a  sturdy,  industrious,  and  intelligent  people,  who  even 
in  the  earliest  days  of  the  town  manifested  an  interest  in  the 
education  and  religious  welfare  of  themselves  and  their  children. 

Jonathan  Twombly,  who  took  up  a  residence  in  the  south 
part  of  the  town  about  the  year  1760,  and  Richard  Walker, 
who  came,  probably,  about  the  same  time,  share  the  honor  of 
being  the  earliest  white  settlers  in  Milton. 

About  ten  or  a  dozen  years  later,  in  1771  or  1772,  John 
Twombly  established  himself  in  the  so-called  Varney  neigh- 
borhood. His  nearest  neighbor,  a  man  named  Jenkins,  lived 
upon  Goodwin  Hill  at  the  time.  Benjamin  Scates  was,  perhaps, 
the  next  to  make  a  home  in  town,  settling  on  Plumer's  Ridge 
about  1772  or  1773.  Beard  and  Joseph  Plumer,  sons  of  John 
Plumer  of  Rochester,  also  settled  at  the  Ridge,  and  may  have 
been  residents  here  even  prior  to  the  arrival  of  Mr.  Seates. 
James  C.  Hayes,  David  Wallingford,  Wm.  Palmer,  Elijah 
Home,  and  Moses  Chamberlain  were  also  among  the  pioneers. 

Paul  Jewett,  Amos  Witham,  Reuben  Jones  and  others  were 
the  first  settlers  of  the  section  near  the  West  Branch  river. 
They  came  probably  about  1785  or  1786. 

At  Milton  Three  Ponds,  Samuel  Palmer,  Levi  Bergen,  John 
Fish,  Paul  Jewett,  Pelatiah  Hanscom,  and  Robert  McGeoch  were 
among  the  earliest  settlers. 

Levi  Jones,  a  native  of  Lebanon,  Me.,  married  Betsey 
Plumer  of  this  town  and  settled  here  about  the  time  of  Milton's 


92  MILTON 

incorporation. 

Wm.  Jones  of  Berwick,  Me.,  married  Charlotte  Gushing  of 
Dover  in  1798,  and  settled  here  probably  at  about  that  time. 

John  Remick,  Jr.,  son  of  Wm.  and  Lydia  Eemick,  was  born 
at  Kittery  (Eliot)  in  1771,  married  Mary,  daughter  of  Capt. 
Edward  and  Eliza  Butler  of  Portsmouth  and  settled  here  prob- 
ably in  the  early  part  of  the  year  1795.  Thos.  Eemick  of  Kit- 
tery was  here  a  number  of  years  later. 

John  Witham  of  Kittery  (Eliot),  too,  was  an  early  settler. 
Josiah  Witham,  Jones'  junior  by  three  years,  married  Mehitable 
Jones  of  Berwick  and  came  here  not  long  after  1790. 

Isaac  Brackett  of  Berwick  married  Priscilla  Jones,  and 
came  here  prior  to  May,  1789. 

Tristram  Goodwin,  son  of  James  and  Sarah  Goodwin,  was 
born  in  Lebanon,  June  14,  1781;  married  Susanna  Mitchell, 
daughter  of  John  and  Abigail  Mitchell  of  Durham,  and  came 
here  to  reside  in  the  early  days  of  the  settlement. 

Robert  Mathes,  a  native  of  Lee,  N.  H.,  was  a  settler  here 
in  1797.  The  Mathes  family  came  to  this  place,  probably  from 
Durham,  settling  at  West  Milton. 

Pelatiah  Hanscom,  Jr.,  son  of  Pelatiah  and  Susanna  Han- 
scom,  was  born  at  Kittery  (Eliot),  Dec.  28,  1777,  married  Betsey 
Tibbetts  at  Berwick  in  1803,  and  settled  here  prior  to  the  win- 
ter of  1804.  Ephraim  Plumer,  of  Rochester,  married  Nancy 
McDuffee  of  the  same  town,  and  came  here  with  the  early  set- 
tlers. The  Roberts  and  Drew  families,  too,  were  among  the 
pioneers.

94  MILTON 


INCORPORATION. 


State  of  New  Hampshire,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord  one 
thousand  eight  hundred  and  two. 

An  Act  to  incorporate  that  part  of  the  Town  of  Rochester 
in  the  County  of  Strafford  commonly  called  the  Northeast 
Parish,  into  a  separate  town  by  the  name  of  Milton. 

Whereas,  a  petition  has  been  presented  to  the  General  Court 
by  the  inhabitants  of  that  part  of  the  Town  of  Rochester  in 
the  County  of  Strafford  commonly  called  the  Northeast  Parish 
setting  forth  that  some  time  prior  to  the  year  one  thousand 
seven  hundred  and  ninety-four  the  Town  of  Rochester  at  a 
legal  meeting  warned  for  that  purpose,  voted  unanimously  that 
said  town  should  be  divided  into  three  towns,  and  a  committee 
was  chosen  to  run  out  and  describe  the  lines  of  the  same,  that 
said  committee  accordingly  made  division  of  said  Town  of 
Rochester  into  three  parts,  that  afterwards  in  the  year  one 
thousand  seven  hundred  and  ninety-four  the  said  Town  of 
Rochester  appointed  another  committee  who  were  not  inhabit- 
ants of  said  Rochester  to  examine  the  lines  aforesaid  and  make 
such  alterations  therein  as  they  shall  judge  proper,  that  said 
committee  on  the  twenty-eighth  day  of  August  in  the  same  year 
made  their  report  to  said  Town  of  Rochester  that  the  former 
lines  and  boundaries  of  the  proposed  towns  be  established  which 
report  was  at  a  legal  meeting  of  said  town  unanimously  accepted 
that  the  said  Town  of  Rochester  in  its  present  form  was  so 
large  and  the  inhabitants  so  numerous  as  rendered  it  very 
inconvenient  for  them  to  transact  business  at  their  town  meet- 
ings. 


HISTOKICAL  95 

Wherefore,  they  pray  that  that  part  of  the  Town  of 
Rochester  commonly  called  the  Northeast  Parish  within  the 
bounds  hereafter  described,  be  incorporated  into  a  separate 
town,  the  principal  facts  set  forth  in  said  petition  being  sub- 
stantiated and  the  prayer  thereof  appearing  reasonable. 

Therefore,  Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Rep- 
resentatives in  General  Court  convened,  that  the  lands  and 
inhabitants  contained  within  the  northeasterly  parish  of  said 
Rochester  as  described  within  the  following  bounds,  viz. :  Begin- 
ning at  the  south-easterly  corner  of  the  Town  of  Farmington 
and  running  north  forty-six  degrees  east  to  Salmon  Falls  river 
and  contain  all  the  land  between  Farmington  line  and  the 
eastern  line  or  boundary  of  said  State  which  is  Salmon  Falls 
river,  be  and  they  hereby  are  incorporated  into  a  separate  town

CHURCH  HISTORY. 

During  the  early  years  of  Milton's  history,  when  the  town 
was  the  Northeast  Parish  of  Rochester,  the  religious  instruction 
of  the  people  here  was  inadequate  in  proportion  to  the  taxes 
which  they  paid,  and  as  early  as  1774,  a  vote  was  passed  to 
the  effect  that  preaching  be  furnished  them. 

The  amount  appropriated  for  the  purpose,  however,  was 
not  large  enough  to  give  entire  satisfaction,  and  to  accomplish 
that  end,  and  in  1780  the  voters  in  the  Northeast  Parish  objected 
to  paying  the  tax  for  the  erection  of  a  new  meetinghouse  at 
Norway  Plains,  although  the  old  one  at  Haven's  Hill  was  unfit 
for  use,  and  many  absolutely  refused  to  pay  the  tax  for  the 
minister's  support. 

As  it  was  too  great  a  distance  for  the  people  living  in  the 
remote  sections  of  the  parish  to  go  to  the  Haven  Hill  meeting- 
house for  divine  worship,  the  injustice  of  taxation  without  any 
benefit  received  soon  became  apparent  to  all  with  the  result  that 
the  Northeast  Parish  was  set  off  from  Rochester  and  incorporated 
as  a  separate  town,  the  religious  instruction  of  the  people  here 
thus  falling  to  their  own  personal  supervision  and  care.  Before 


100  MILTON 

Milton  had  become  a  separate  town  from  Rochester,  the  Rev. 
Joseph  Haven  of  Rochester  Hill  had  ministered  to  their  spiritual 
needs,  continuing  to  do  so  from  1776  to  1798.  The  first  religious 
services  known  to  have  been  held  here  were  at  the  house  of 
Lieut.  Elijah  Home  on  Plummer's  Ridge. 

The  first  minister  employed  by  the  town  after  its  incorpora- 
tion was  Rev.  Reuben  Nayson,  from  Wakefield,  who  preached 
during  the  year  1801,  receiving  a  salary  of  $82  for  his  services. 

The  first  meetinghouse  in  Milton  was  erected  on  the  Ridge 
in  accordance  with  a  vote  passed  at  the  annual  meeting  in  1802. 
John  Fish,  Beard  Plumer  and  Gilman  Jewett,  were  the  execu- 
tive committee.  The  lot  on  which  the  building  was  erected  was 
purchased  of  Thomas  and  Aaron  Downes  for  $26.  The  meeting- 
house was  completed  at  a  cost  of  about  $2,400,  by  Caleb  Win- 
gate,  Capt.  Daniel  Hayes,  and  Gilman  Jewett.  The  net  cost  of 
the  church,  however,  was  not  so  large,  as  the  pews  were  sold  for 
nearly  $2,000.  The  first  service  was  held  in  1804,  and  from 
that  time  until  after  1830,  the  meetinghouse  was  constantly  in 
use.  The  first  preachers  to  occupy  the  pulpit  were  Rev.  Gideon 
Burt  and  Rev.  Christopher  Page,  both  of  whom  were  here  in 
1804. 

After  1838,  no  regular  services  were  held  at  the  house  on 
the  Ridge,  but  the  Rev.  M.  Willey  preached  there  once  a  month 
during  the  year  (except  during  the  winter  when  the  church  was 
closed)  until  1845,  shortly  after  which  the  building  went  out 
of  use.  It  was  sold  to  the  town  in  1855,  and  was,  not  long  after- 
ward, converted  into  a  town  house,  which  purpose  the  venerable 
building  has  served  down  to  the  present  time.

FIRST   CONGREGATIONAL   CHURCH. 

The  ''First  Church  of  Christ"  of  Milton  was  organized  at 
the  old  meetinghouse  on  Plummer's  Ridge,  Sept.  8,  1815,  with 
the  following  members:  Barnabus  Palmer,  Hatuel  Nute,  Benja- 
min Scates,  Abigail  Scates,  Deborah  Wentworth,  Mary  Cham- 
berlain, Aehsah  Plumer  and  Mrs.  —  -  Nutter.  The  record 
of  the  institution  of  the  church  is  signed  by  Curtis  Coe,  mis- 
sionary. 

The  village  at  the  ' '  Three  Ponds ' '  having  increased  in  popu- 
lation, the  people  there  desired  a  nearer  place  of  worship.  A 
"Union"  meetinghouse  was  erected  in  the  village,  and  dedicated 
Nov.  19,  1835.  Here  the  Congregationalists  and  members  of 
other  denominations  held  services. 

During  the  pastorate  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Willey, — in  1841 — 
a  parish  house,  which,  with  subsequent  renovations,  is  the  pres- 
ent parsonage,  was  erected  on  a  lot  purchased  of  Isaac  Worster. 

In  1860,  the  remainder  of  the  Worster  lot  was  purchased, 
and  soon  after  the  present  meetinghouse  was  built.  It  was  ded- 
icated Jan.  9,  1862.  In  1886  repairs,  the  expense  of  which  was 
$1,000,  were  made  on  the  meetinghouse  and  parsonage.  In  1895, 
the  interior  was  remodelled,  and  renovations  made,  the  whole 
expense  amounting  to  $1,200. 

Mr.  Lewis  Worster  Nute,  whose  mother  was  born  where 
the  present  church  now  stands,  bequeathed  $10,000  to  the  church, 
making  the  present  funds  about  $11,000. 

The  following  is  the  list  of  pastors,  both  acting  and  resident : 

Revs.  Curtis  Coe,  1815;  Dyer  Burge;  James  Walker,  1819- 
1826  (Sept.) ;  Benj.  G.  Willey,  1832  (Dec.)-1846;  E.  F.  Abbott,

Robert  T.  Osgood,  1891  (June) -1893  (Jan.)  ;  Myron  P.  Dickey, 
1893  (April),  present  pastor  of  the  church.  Between  1826  and 
1832,  the  church  was  supplied  by  Revs.  Clement  Parker,  E.  S. 
Anderson,  and  by  missionaries. 

The  total  number  of  people  admitted  to  membership  in  the 
church  has  been  about  350.  The  present  membership  is  about 
130. 

FREE  BAPTIST  CHURCH. 

. 
For  a  number  of  years  previous  to  1860,  meetings  were 

held  by  the  townspeople  of  the  Free  Baptist  profession.  The 
deed  of  the  land  for  the  first  meetinghouse  was  given  May  21, 
1859,  and  the  church  was  built  that  year. 

The  Free  Baptist  Church  of  Milton  was  organized  May 
17,  1860,  and  the  Rev.  D.  P.  Cilley,  chairman  of  the  council, 
gave  the  right  hand  of  fellowship.  The  following  persons  on 
examination  had  been  found  "in  fellowship  and  eligible  to 
church  membership": 

Rev.  E.  Tuttle,  Bro.  Luther  Hayes,  Fred  H.  Tuttle,  Frances 
Jones,  Samuel  Jones,  E.  G.  Downs,  Martha  A.  Varney,  Benj. 
Scates,  Mary  H.  Tuttle,  Mary  Jones,  N.  B.  Varney,  Elinor 
Hubbard. 

Luther  Hayes  was  chosen  Clerk  of  the  church;  Samuel 
Jones,  Deacon;  and  Rev.  E.  Tuttle,  Pastor,  all  by  a  unanimous 


HISTORICAL  103 

vote.  Rev.  E.  Tuttle  and  Benj.  Scates  were  appointed  delegates 
to  the  New  Durham  Q.  M.,  to  ask  for  admission  to  that  body. 
Rev.  Ezra  Tuttle,  first  pastor  of  the  church,  was  given  a 
dismissal  April  30,  1863,  and  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  S.  P. 
Fernald,  who  remained  several  months.  Rev.  J.  M.  Bedell  was 
received  June  30,  1864,  dismissed  May  4,  1865;  Rev.  N.  C. 
Lothrop,  Jan.  5,  1866-Dec.  2,  1867;  Rev.  I.  C.  Guptill,  May  2, 
1868-April  3,  1869 ;  Rev.  Ezra  Tuttle,  who  came  from  Wisconsin 
for  a  second  pastorate,  April  30,  1870- Jan.  6,  1872;  Rev.  Jos. 
F.  Joy,  Aug.  31,  1872-June  6,  1874;  Rev.  E.  Owen,  April,  1876- 
Dec.  30,  1877;  Rev.  E.  G.  York,  Sept.  28,  1878-April  5,  1879; 
Rev.  C.  L.  Plummer,  Aug.  12,  1879-July  2,  1881;  Rev.  Win. 
Waldron — remained  about  two  and  a  half  years,  closing  his 
period  of  service  about  June  21,  1885 ;  Rev.  C.  E.  Mason  of  the 
Cobb  Divinity  School,  came  July  18,  1885,  and  was,  after  a  suc- 
cessful pastorate,  succeeded  by  Rev.  E.  R.  Chadwick,  also  of 
the  Cobb  Divinity  School,  who  remained  less  than  two  years 
because  of  ill  health.  Rev.  G.  F.  Durgin  supplied  the  church 
until  Rev.  John  Manter  came  to  begin  a  pastorate  which  con- 
tinued more  than  seven  years.  During  Mr.  Manter 's  residence 
here,  the  meetinghouse  was  destroyed  by  fire,  and  rebuilt  on 
the  same  site  shortly  afterward.  Mr.  Manter  closed  his  pas- 
torate here  to  accept  one  at  Springvale,  Maine.  His  successor, 
Rev.  F.  E.  Carver,  remained  three  and  a  half  years,  at  the  end 
of  which  time  he  went  to  Fort  Fairfield,  Maine.  Rev.  C.  B. 
Osborne  came  in  January,  1900,  for  a  pastorate  which  he  closed 
October  27,  1907,  when  he  went  to  Franconia.  Since  that  time 
the  church  has  been  supplied  by  visiting  clergymen. 


104  MILTON 

CATHOLIC  CHURCH,  MILTON. 

The  Catholics  of  Milton  began  to  hold  services  at  the  vil- 
lage about  a  dozen  or  fifteen  years  ago.  Clergymen  from  the 
churches  at  Rochester  and  Gonic  have  supplied  the  church,  which 
is  a  mission  station  and  has  not  yet  had  any  resident  pastor. 
Among  the  clergymen  who  have  ministered  to  the  church  here 
have  been  the  Rev.  Fr.  Lemie,  Rev.  Fr.  Laplante,  now  of  Berlin, 
Rev.  Fr.  Laroque,  Rev.  Fr.  Lesard,  Rev.  Fr.  Melancon,  and 
Rev.  Fr.  Godin,  who  comes  from  Gonic  every  fortnight,  or  as 
often  as  he  is  able,  to  say  mass  and  to  administer  to  the  spiritual 
wants  of  the  people. 

The  first  Catholic  Church  here  was  built  about  ten  years 
ago.  It  was  burned  about  two  years  ago,  and  was  replaced  by 
the  neat  little  chapel  on  Charles  Street.  About  thirty-five  fam- 
ilies attend  the  church.  Mass  is  said  at  eight  o  'clock  A.M.  every 
fortnight,  when  very  stormy  weather  does  not  prevent  Father 
Godin 's  coming  up  from  Gonic. 

CONGREGATIONAL  CHURCH  OF  MILTON  MILLS. 

Previous  to  1871,  the  Calvin  Baptists  and  Congregationalists 
of  Milton  Mills  united  in  maintaining  public  worship  in  the  old 
"Union"  meetinghouse  erected  in  1834. 

Theological  students  supplied  the  pulpit  here  until  the  Con- 
gregational Church  was  organized  Sept.  26,  1871.  The  church, 
at  its  formation,  had  a  membership  of  about  twenty  people. 
Ebenezer  Osgood  and  Benjamin  G.  Adams  were  the  first  deacons  ; 
William  McGibbon,  the  first  clerk. 

The  first  settled  pastor  was  Rev.  Darius  B.  Scott,  who  came 
to  the  church  in  1872.  After  a  pastorate  of  several  years'  dura- 


HISTORICAL  105 

tion,  he  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  Geo.  Michael,  who  remained  two 
or  three  years.  Rev.  Chas.  F.  Goldsmith  came  next,  and 
remained  until  May  22,  1881.  Rev.  G.  S.  Butler  came  Aug.  1, 
1882,  and  preached  here  during  a  period  of  four  of  five  years, 
part  of  which  time  he  supplied  the  church  at  Union.  Rev.  H. 
S.  Ives  came  in  the  fall  or  winter  of  1887  and  remained  two  or 
three  years.  Rev.  E.  J.  Akin  supplied  here  for  several  months 
during  a  time  when  the  society  had  no  settled  pastor.  Rev.  I. 
B.  Short  was  the  last  resident  preacher  at  the  church,  coming 
here  in  1891,  and  remaining  until  about  1894.  Since  that  time 
the  church  has  depended  upon  theological  students  or  visiting 
ministers  for  preaching  and  public  worship. 

FIRST  FREE  BAPTIST  CHURCH. 

The  First  Free  Baptist  Church  was  reorganized  by  Rev. 
Gershom  Lord,  in  1802,  and  consisted  of  eight  members.  Sam- 
uel Runnells  and  Bart.  Miller  were  first  deacons,  and  Elder  Lord 
was  clerk.  Rev.  Gershom  Lord  was  the  first  preacher,  and  was 
succeeded  by  Humphrey  Goodwin,  who  was  ordained  in  1807, 
and  continued  to  preach  until  his  removal  to  Hollis,  in  1814. 
Elder  David  Blaisdell  supplied  from  1815  to  1830. 

A  house  of  worship  was  built  in  1818,  in  the  west  part  of 
the  town,  near  Milton  Mills,  and  replaced  by  a  new  one  on  the 
same  ground,  in  1840. 

Theodore  Stevens  became  pastor  in  1834,  left  in  1836, 
returned  in  1839,  and  was  succeeded,  in  1843,  by  Elder  J.  Fuller- 
ton;  by  Horace  Stanton,  in  1847;  and  subsequently  by  Z.  Jor- 
dan, Wm.  Hurlin,  Seth  Perkins,  Aaron  Ayer,  Dexter  Waterman, 
James  Potter ;  Rev.  Mr.  McLain,  in  1872 ;  Hosea  Quimby,  1875 ;

and  at  Mr.  Quimby's  death,  in  October,  1878,  by  Rev.  B.  F 
Sherwood,  who  remained  until  about  1880,  when  Rev.  H.  P. 
Mansur  came.  He  remained  until  about  1885.  The  following 
have  been  pastors  since  that  time :  Revs.  G.  A.  Anderson,  1887 ; 
C.  E.  Hurd,  1888-93;  E.  W.  Fernald,  1894-7;  R.  W.  Churchill, 
1898. 

METHODIST  EPISCOPAL  CHURCH,  MILTON  MILLS. 

Methodist  meetings  were  held  at  Milton  Mills  as  early  as 
1870,  in  Fox's  Hall.  The  church  was  organized  about  1871,  and 
a  meetinghouse  erected  the  following  year. 

The  present  parsonage  was  purchased  during  the  pastorate 
of  the  Rev.  A.  M.  Markey,  18.99-1902. 

The  following  clergymen  have  been  pastors  of  the  church: 

Revs.  I.  J.  Tibbetts,  1870-73;  James  Crowley,  1873-75; 
N.  H.  McDaniels,  1875-76;  A.  B.  Carter,  1876-79;  J.  M.  Bean, 
1879-81;  N.  C.  Bartlett,  1881-82;  J.  P.  Frye,  1882-83;  J.  J. 
Davis,  1883-84;  H.  E.  Allen,  1884-87;  G.  J.  Lowe,  1887-88; 
I.  J.  Tibbetts,  1888-89;  M.  H.  Evans,  1889;  G.  F.  Durgin, 
1889-90;  B.  F.  Estes,  1890-92;  G.  S.  CoUer,  1892-95;  Wm. 
Thompson,  1895-97;  E.  J.  Dean,  1897-99;  A.  M.  Markey,  1899- 
1902;  S.  E.  Quimby,  1902-04;  Willis  Holmes,  1904. 

The  present  membership  is  forty-six.    The  recording  secretary 
is  Mr.  Fred  L.  Mudgett. 

NUTE  CHAPEL,  NUTE  RIDGE. 

The  Nute  Chapel  was  built  about  1891  or  1892,  to  be  used 
for  "Union"  meetings,  from  a  fund  left  by  the  late  Hon.  Lewis 
W.  Nute,  of  this  town,  to  whom  Milton  owes  so  much.  The  first 


HISTORICAL  107 

pastor  was  Rev.  "Wm.  A.  Bacon,  who  remained  several  years. 
The  present  pastor  of  the  church  is  Rev.  Robert  M.  Peacock, 
who  bar  Ven  here  about  ten  years. 

There  was  a  Christian  Church  at  West  Milton  about  fifty 
years  ago,  but  no  services  have  been  held  there  by  that  society 
for  many  years. 


INDUSTRIES. 

There  are  very  few  towns  on  the  Atlantic  slope  which  possess 
such  excellent  facilities  for  the  development  of  water  power  as 
the  town  of  Milton.  The  Salmon  Falls  river,  which,  with  its 
tributaries  traverses  and  bounds  the  township,  is  superior  in 
available  water  power  to  all  but  one  of  the  rivers  of  a  similar 
size  flowing  into  the  Atlantic  Ocean.  The  declivity  of  the  river 
from  its  source  (East  Pond)  to  the  sea  is  499  feet,  and  more 
than  half  of  this  total  fall  (275  feet)  is  within  the  limits  of 
Milton,  giving  this  town  the  greatest  water  power  on  the  river. 

The  Cocheco  Manufacturing  Company  of  Dover  have  an 
available  water  power  of  1,000  horse  power;  and  a  fall  of  36 
feet;  the  Great  Falls  Manufacturing  Company  of  Somersworth, 
one  of  2,500  horse  power  occasioned  by  a  fall  of  62  feet. 

It  is  interesting  to  compare  the  facilities  of  these  important 
corporations  with  those  of  the  town  of  Milton. 

It  is  possible  for  one  plant  to  utilize,  from  the  pond  to  and 
including  the  flume  privilege,  a  fall  of  140  feet,  which  with  a 
run  of  12,000  or  more  cubic  feet  of  water  per  minute,  will 


108  MILTON 

develop  from  2,500  to  3,000  horse  power.  One  horse  power  being 
the  rate  of  doing  33,000  foot-pounds  of  work  per  minute,  the 
total  power  available  would  be  from  at  least  82,500,000  to  99,- 
000,000  foot-pounds  of  work  a  minute.  As  the  foot-pound  is 
the  work  done  in  lifting  a  mass  of  one  pound  through  one  foot, 
it  can  readily  be  seen  that  the  potential  energy  of  the  water  fall 
in  Milton  is  indeed  enormous. 

This  does  not  include  the  fall  of  47  feet  at  Milton  Mills, 
with  231  horse  power,  nor  that  of  Spaulding's  upper  mill  with 
a  fall  of  21  feet  and  a  horse  power  of  375. 

The  first  dam  in  town  was  built  on  the  site  of  the  present 
main  dam  at  Milton  Village,  by  Samuel  Palmer  about  the  year 
1784.  Saw  mills  and  grist  mills  were  built  on  each  side.  At  the 
flume  about  that  time  was  the  old  Jones  saw  and  grist  mill, 
washed  away  by  the  freshet  of  1786.  The  Leighton  privilege 
was  located  near  the  present  upper  leather  board  mill,  and  was 
one  of  the  earliest  in  town.  At  this  place  in  1816,  Thomas 
Leighton  erected  a  cotton  mill  which  he  operated  more  than 
twenty  years.  The  other  privileges  on  the  river  were  also  utilized 
at  an  early  date. 

Among  the  industries  at  Milton  Mills  in  the  early  days  of 
the  town  were  several  saw  mills,  a  crude  woolen  mill,  and  a 
distillery  where  Stephen  Watson  manufactured  whiskey  from 
potatoes. 

Oilman  Jewett,  Nathaniel  Jewett,  Asa  Jewett  and  a  Mr. 
Wedgewood  transformed  the  old  woolen  mill  into  a  lathe  and 
turning  mill  about  sixty-five  or  seventy  years  ago,  after  which 
it  was  operated  more  or  less  irregularly  up  to  the  year  1847, 
when  it  was  purchased  by  John  Townsend,  who  used  the  machin- 


HISTORICAL  109 

ery  for  the  manufacture  of  fine  flannels,  until  1861,  when  the 
mill  was  burned.  Mr.  Townsend  was  a  wonderfully  astute  buyer, 
and  manufacturer,  and  one  who  understood  the  art  of  selling 
the  manufactured  goods.  As  a  result,  he  was  very  successful. 
In  June,  1863,  he  opened  a  much  larger  factory  which  replaced 
the  mill  that  had  been  burned,  and  after  continuing  the  manu- 
facture of  flannels  for  some  time,  sold  the  mill  to  Mudge,  Saw- 
yer &  Co.,  of  Boston,  Mass.  This  firm,  after  occupying  it  for 
about  six  years,  disposed  of  it  to  the  Waumbeck  Company,  a 
stock  corporation,  of  which  John  D.  Sturtevant  of  Boston  was 
the  managing  agent.  Geo.  W.  Olney  was  the  first  superintendent 
under  the  Waumbeck  Company,  and  was  succeeded  by  Benj.  J. 
Adams.  During  the  management  of  John  A.  Buguey,  a  differ- 
ent concern  assumed  control  of  the  mill,  the  Waumbeck  Woolen 
Co.  The  mill  was  burned  in  1898. 

The  Miltonia  Mills  were  built  by  Henry  H.  Townsend  in 
1872.  Operations  were  begun  in  1873,  Mr.  Townsend  and  his 
partner,  Mr.  S.  H.  Atkins,  carrying  on  the  manufacture  of  felt 
under  the  firm  name  of  Townsend  &  Co.  Felt  was  the  principal 
output  of  the  mill  up  to  the  year  1881,  when  it  was  replaced  by 
blankets,  and  the  plant  called  the  Miltonia  Mills.  The  original 
mill  with  the  new  factory  and  additions,  make  up  the  present 
plant. 

Mr.  Henry  Townsend  died  June  25,  1904,  and  was  succeeded 
by  his  son,  Mr.  John  E.  Townsend,  the  present  owner.  Sixty- 
five  hands  are  employed,  and  the  industry  has  grown  to  exten- 
sive proportions. 

On  the  site  of  the  shoe  factory  occupied  by  Andrews  Bros., 
Edward  Brierly  erected  a  felt  mill  about  forty  years  ago,  where 


110  MILTON 

he  carried  on  a  large  business,  employing  a  fair  number  of  hands 
until  it  was  burned  in  the  spring  or  early  part  of  the  summer 
of  1873.  He  rebuilt  the  mill  soon  afterward,  and  the  property 
later  came  into  the  possession  of  David  H.  Buffum  of  Somers- 
worth.  After  Mr.  Buffum 's  death,  his  son,  Harry  Buffum,  sold 
it  to  Varney  &  Lane,  who  began  the  manufacture  of  shoes.  The 
next  owners  of  the  factory  were  the  Gale  Shoe  Co.,  of  Haverhill, 
who,  after  several  years  of  successful  operation,  leased  the  prop- 
erty to  Andrews  &  Co.,  of  Everett,  Mass.,  who,  under  the  name 
of  the  Boynton  Shoe  Co.,  carry  on  the  industry  successfully  at 
the  present  time. 

At  West  Milton,  formerly  called  Goodwinville,  John  E. 
and  Chas.  Goodwin  built  and  operated  a  shoe  factory  which  soon 
made  that  village  a  prosperous  place.  After  the  business  had 
been  carried  on  with  success  for  a  dozen  or  fifteen  years,  the 
factory  was  closed,  John  E.  Goodwin  going  to  Dover  to  take 
charge  of  a  factory  there,  and  Charles  to  become  a  traveling 
salesman  for  a  Boston  firm. 

At  South  Milton,  in  the  forties  or  fifties,  Eli  and  Hiram 
Wentworth  had  a  factory  but  their  business  was  discontinued 
many  years  ago. 

Milton  Village  with  the  excellent  facilities  for  the  utiliza- 
tion of  water  power  which  she  is  so  fortunate  to  possess,  has 
become  a  prosperous  and  active  industrial  community,  like  her 
sister  village,  Milton  Mills.  With  her  great  shoe  factory,  leather- 
board  and  paper  mills,  and  other  industries,  all  enjoying  an 
extensive  and  growing  business,  and  employing  many  hands, 
she  presents  to  the  visitor,  as  she  nestles  between  the  mountain 
and  the  river  and  pond,  the  appearance  of  a  perfect  little  hive 


HISTORICAL  111 

of  industry  and  activity. 

Were  it  not  for  the  law  suits  and  grasping  methods  of  the 
owners  of  water  privileges  here  in  the  early  days  of  the  town 
by  which  the  Great  Falls  Manufacturing  Company,  about  the 
year  1820,  were  prevented  from  utilizing  the  water  power  and 
establishing  a  plant,  Milton  probably  would  be  an  important 
city.  The  tremendous  natural  and  artificial  advantages  still 
remain,  however,  and  are  being  utilized  more  and  more.  Milton 
is  constantly  growing  in  prosperity  and  wealth,  and  the  time 
seems  not  far  distant  when  this  town,  increasing  and  developing 
her  industrial  activity,  will  become  one  of  the  most  important 
manufacturing  centres  in  eastern  New  Hampshire. 


MILITARY   HISTORY. 

There  is  nothing  in  the  history  of  the  town  of  Milton,  which 
is  more  worthy  of  a  detailed  and  comprehensive  account,  noth- 
ing which  confers  more  honor  and  glory  upon  her  people,  noth- 
ing which  gives  her  so  noble  a  right  to  one  of  the  highest  places 
among  the  towns  and  cities  of  New  Hampshire  as  her  military 
record,  and  the  sympathy,  assistance,  and  steadfast,  self-sacrific- 
ing loyalty  she  has  given  to  our  country  whenever  the  Nation 
was  in  peril  or  in  need  of  aid.  To  do  her  military  history  jus- 
tice is  a  task  which  should  be  attempted  only  by  one  familiar 
with  the  men  and  ideals  of  her  earlier  days,  one  who  has  inherited 
a  love  for  her  and  for  all  that  is  hers,  for  no  one  who  does  not 
truly  know  and  love  the  town  could  do  it  well. 


112  MILTON 

The  military  history  of  Milton  antedates  that  of  the  town 
itself,  for  it  was  almost  a  quarter  century  after  the  Revolution 
closed  that  the  ' '  Northeast  Parish ' '  of  Rochester  became  a  town. 
It  is  recorded  that  many  citizens  of  this  part  of  Rochester  left 
their  homes  to  join  the  Continental  Army  and  to  do  their  share 
toward  the  winning  of  the  independence  of  the  colonies.  One 
of  the  first  men  who  enlisted  from  Rochester  was  John  Bergin 
of  Milton  Three  Ponds,  who  signed  the  roll  on  the  second  day 
of  June,  in  1775.  He  was  a  sergeant  in  Capt.  Titcomb's  Com- 
pany. Timothy  Ricker,  too,  was  in  the  American  service,  a  man 
who  possessed  so  magnificent  a  physique,  that  he  served  as  one 
of  the  body  guards  of  General  Washington. 

Samuel  Nute,  sergeant  in  Capt.  Wentworth's  Company  of 
New  Hampshire  volunteers,  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  second 
lieutenant  in  the  regiment  Nov.  11,  1776,  and  served  until  Sept. 
16,  1777.  Daniel  Cook,  too,  was  a  sergeant,  a  member  of  Capt. 
Benj.  Ellis'  Company  in  Col.  Scammel's  regiment.  Joseph  Pearl 
was  in  Capt.  Rowell's  Company  of  Col.  Nathan  Hale's  Battalion, 
and  William  Palmer  served  in  the  Second  N.  H.  Regiment  in 
1780.  At  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill  where  so  many  New  Hamp- 
shire men  were  engaged,  Milton  was  represented  by  William 
Warren,  who  was  wounded  during  that  famous  fight. 

Milton's  record  in  the  War  of  1812  is  no  less  glorious. 
This  was  the  first  struggle  in  which  she  as  an  incorporate  town 
sent  men  into  the  service  of  the  Nation.  Fifty-four  men  were 
furnished  from  Milton  alone,  for  the  army  and  the  navy,  more 
than  a  third  of  those  able  to  bear  arms  going  to  the  front! 
Milton  indeed  had  just  cause  to  rejoice  at  the  outcome,  and  the 
final  and  lasting  establishment  of  American  independence,  and 


HISTORICAL  113 

the  famous  celebration  held  in  the  old  T.  C.  Lyman  tavern,  April 
15,  1815,  was  one  which  fitly  manifested  the  joy  and  satisfac- 
tion of  the  people  here  over  the  outcome  of  the  war. 

New  England,  being  far  removed  from  the  seat  of  war 
between  Mexico  and  the  United  States,  and  opposed  to  the 
policy  which  brought  on  the  conflict,  took  little  part  in  the 
Mexican  War,  and  it  was  carried  on  and  brought  to  a  successful 
close,  for  the  most  part,  by  the  men  of  the  South  and  West, 
though  New  England,  indeed,  was  well  represented  and  by  no 
means  played  the  part  of  the  shirk. 

The  great  struggle  of  the  Rebellion,  however,  was  the  true 
test  of  the  spirit  and  patriotism  of  the  people  of  the  towns  in 
this  section  of  the  North,  and  as  in  all  the  former  struggles  the 
citizens  of  Milton  were  not  found  wanting.  They  took  a  strong 
and  emphatic  stand  against  slavery  and  dis-union,  and  strong 
resolutions  were  passed  in  opposition  to  both.  But  they  did  not 
stop  there.  Believing  that  deeds  and  not  words  are  the  true 
indication  to  character  and  sincerity  they  made  active  prepara- 
tions to  assist  in  the  prosecution  of  the  war.  Scarcely  had  Fort 
Sumpter  capitulated  and  the  President 's  call  for  volunteers  been 
received  throughout  the  North  than  the  names  of  men  of  Milton 
were  on  the  enlistment  rolls,  and  the  soldiers  were  ready  to 
march  to  the  front.  "Their  acts  of  bravery  were  recorded  on 
nearly  every  field  during  the  four  years'  struggle." 

There  were  approximately  355  able  bodied  voters  in  the 
town  at  the  outbreak  of  the  war,  and  of  this  number  150  enlisted, 
almost  one-half  of  the  male  population  going  to  the  front! 

In  response  to  the  quota  of  91  men  demanded  from  Milton 
by  the  drafts,  this  town  sent  103.  This  record  is  one  of  which 


114  MILTON 

every  Miltonian  is  and  may  be  justly  proud,  for  it  is  indeed 
a  worthy  one.  From  a  financial  standpoint,  too,  Milton's  record 
does  not  suffer.  Milton,  with  a  population  of  1,862  people, 
should  have  given  for  the  support  of  the  war,  about  $55,000, 
in  proportion  per  capita  to  the  population  of  New  Hampshire, 
and  the  total  amount  furnished  by  the  State. 

This  proportion  of  $55,000  was  exceeded  by  almost  $30,000, 
the  town  voting  the  sum  of  $79,500  for  the  use  of  the  Nation. 

This  is  the  record  then  of  the  town  of  Milton  in  the  great 
crises  of  our  country.  It  is  not  necessary  to  recount  in  detail 
the  individual  services  of  the  soldiers  of  the  town,  for  the  events 
and  struggles  in  which  they  distinguished  themselves  are  familiar 
to  all.  Their  courage  and  pluck  were  unbounded;  they  fought 
and  suffered,  yes,  and  died  with  that  indomitable  will,  that  love 
of  liberty,  and  that  heroism  which  characterized  their  fathers 
and  is  still  the  legacy  of  their  sons,  handed  down  since  the  days 
of  Sullivan  and  Stark  and  Hale,  as  their  most  priceless  heritage 
to  be  preserved  unsullied  and  undimmed  from  generation  to 
generation,  so  long  as  the  Republic  exists. 


EDUCATIONAL  ACCOUNT. 

The  first  teacher  employed  by  the  town  of  Milton  was  James 
F.  Maston,  who  kept  the  winter  term  of  1803  in  a  school  build- 
ing erected  on  the  Ridge.  He  received  as  wages  a  sum  equivalent 
to  about  $25  or  $26,  and  was  "boarded  around." 

Miss  Mary  Walbridge,  the  first  woman  teacher  engaged  by 


HISTORICAL  115 

the  town,  taught  the  summer  term  of  1804,  receiving  two  pounds 
eight  shillings  (about  $12)  as  compensation  for  her  services. 
The  schoolhouse  at  the  foot  of  Silver  Street,  one  of  the  "little 
red"  buildings  so  common  years  ago,  was  constructed  in  1827. 
It  was  renovated,  and  made  a  two-story  structure  in  1853,  and 
continued  in  use  as  a  school  building  until  about  1890,  when 
it  was  sold. 

In  1891,  the  present  grammar  school  building  was  erected, 
and  is  the  "proud  possessor"  of  the  bell  which  was  formerly  in 
the  old  schoolhouse,  and  which  still  performs  its  function  effi- 
ciently and  well.  The  central  school  building  at  Milton  Mills 
has,  for  a  number  of  years,  been  used  by  both  the  higher  gram- 
mar and  lower  high  school  grades  there. 

The  first  attempt  at  the  establishment  of  a  high  school  in 
Milton  was  made  by  the  Rev.  Ezra  S.  Anderson,  in  1832.  The 
most  successful  of  the  earlier  institutions,  however,  was  the 
Classical  Institute,  classes  being  held  in  the  old  Union  meeting- 
house, remodeled  in  1866,  for  that  purpose.  Many  men  of  prom- 
inence in  the  community  and  State,  today,  point  with  pride  and 
satisfaction  to  the  early  training  they  received  there. 

The  Nute  High  School  was  founded  in  1889,  as  was  the 
Nute  Library,  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  will  of 
Lewis  Worster  Nute,  a  native  of  Milton  who  died  in  1888. 
Among  the  many  worthy  benefactions  which  Mr.  Nute 
bequeathed  to  his  townsmen  were  the  $125,000  for  the  institu- 
tion which  bears  his  name,  and  $50,000  for  the  public  schools. 
As  a  result  of  Mr.  Nute's  generosity  and  the  praiseworthy 
interest  which  Milton  people  have  always  had  in  education,  this 
town  has  splendid  educational  facilities,  which  are  second  to 
those  of  no  town  of  a  similar  size  in  New  Hampshire. 


116  MILTON 

PROFESSIONAL  MEN. 

PHYSICIANS. 

\ 

Perhaps  the  earliest  resident  physician  at  Milton  Village 
was  Dr.  Stephen  Drew,  a  native  of  Newfield,  Me.,  who  came  in 
the  early  days  of  the  town,  about  the  year  1820,  and  practised 
until  1873,  a  long  period  of  more  than  fifty  years  of  activity. 

Dr.  D.  E.  Palmer  came  some  time  in  the  latter  part  of  the 
decade  1850-1860,  and  remained  until  about  1865,  when  he  went 
to  Tuftonborough.  Dr.  G.  W.  Peavey,  who  came  here  from 
Ossipee,  carried  on  the  practice  which  Dr.  Palmer  had  left,  and 
remained  about  four  years,  at  the  end  of  which  time  he  removed 
to  Somersworth,  where  he  died.  Dr.  Nute  succeeded  Dr.  Peavey, 
but  stayed  only  a  short  time.  For  several  years  there  was  no 
resident  physician  at  the  village  until  Dr.  H.  P.  Pitcher  came 
in  1879.  Dr.  Pitcher,  after  continuing  in  practice  here  about 
four  years,  went  to  Haverhill,  where  he  still  carries  on  the 
practice  of  his  profession. 

The  Rev.  Frank  Haley,  M.D.,  who  acted  as  pastor  of  the 
Congregational  Church,  was  also  a  practising  physician  here 
about  the  middle  of  the  seventies. 

Dr.  W.  F.  Wallace,  Milton's  next  physician,  came  in  1883. 
After  about  four  years  of  practice  here,  he  went  to  Bradford 
in  1887,  in  which  year  Dr.  C.  D.  Jones,  a  native  of  Milton,  and 
a  graduate  of  Harvard,  began  practice  here.  Dr.  Jones  gave 
up  his  practice  about  the  year  1891. 

Dr.  J.  Dearborn  was  here  a  short  time  in  the  latter  eighties. 

Dr.  M.  A.  H.  Hart,  like  Dr.  Jones,  a  Milton  man,  came  here 
the  same  year  (1891).  After  graduating  at  the  University  of 


HISTORICAL  117 

the  City  of  New  York,  Dr.  Hart  practised  about  three  years  in 
Fall  River,  Mass.,  at  the  end  of  which  time  he  came  to  his 
native  town,  to  begin  a  practice  which  has  now  grown  to  exten- 
sive proportions. 

Dr.  W.  F.  Wallace  returned  to  Milton  in  1893,  and  practised 
until  his  removal  to  Plaistow  four  years  later.  Dr.  John  Wal- 
lace, a  native  of  Ireland,  came  here  in  1897.  Three  years  later 
he  removed  to  Roxbury,  Mass. 

At  Milton  Mills,  the  first  physician  to  carry  on  an  extensive 
practice  was  Dr.  Reuben  Buck,  a  native  of  Massachusetts,  who 
lived  in  Acton,  and  visited  patients  in  this  village  as  early  as 
1830,  and  continued  to  reside  here  until  his  death.  Prior  to  Dr. 
Buck's  practice  here,  ,Dr.  Powers  of  Acton  and  Dr.  Russell  of 
Wakefield,  attended  sick  calls. 

Dr.  Jonathan  S.  Calef,  who  came  from  Maine,  married  one 
of  Dr.  Buck's  daughters  and  settled  here  not  many  years  after 
the  latter 's  arrival.  He  remained  for  some  time,  going  from 
Milton  to  Manchester,  later  to  Boston,  Mass.,  and  finally  to  San 
Francisco,  Cal.,  where  he  died. 

Dr.  John  L.  Swinerton,  from  Newfield,  Maine,  was  in  prac- 
tice in  this  village,  contemporary  with  Dr.  Buck,  remaining 
here  about  twenty-five  years.  At  the  end  of  that  time  he  went 
to  Union  where,  later,  he  died. 

Dr.  Jeremiah  Crosby  Buck,  a  son  of  Dr.  Reuben,  began 
practice  here  during  the  latter  years  of  his  father's  residence 
in  this  locality,  and  continued  in  active  practice  almost  up  to 
the  time  of  his  death,  which  occurred  about  the  year  1890. 

Dr.  Chas.  E.  Swasey,  who  had  been  an  army  surgeon  dur- 
ing the  Civil  War,  married  another  of  Dr.  Reuben  Buck's  daugh- 


118  MILTON 

ters,  and  began  the  practice  of  his  profession  shortly  after  the 
close  of  the  war.  He  remained  here  about  five  years,  removing, 
at  the  end  of  that  time,  to  Rochester,  from  which  place  he  went 
to  Somersworth,  where  he  died  May  30,  1907.  His  remains  were 
brought  to  his  native  town  and  buried  in  the  Roadside  Cemetery 
just  outside  the  village. 

Dr.  Wm.  E.  Pillsbury,  a  native  of  Shapleigh,  Me.,  came 
sometime  during  the  latter  part  of  the  decade  1860-1870,  and 
remained  until  February,  1907. 

Dr.  Charles  W.  Gross  came  at  about  the  same  time,  and 
has  enjoyed  a  long  and  successful  practice  which  he  still  carries 
on  at  the  present  time. 

Dr.  Frank  Weeks,  a  graduate  of  the  Baltimore  Medical 
College,  came  to  this  village  in  March,  1902,  and  is  one  of  the 
present  resident  physicians. 

Dr.  L.  B.  Bradford  came  here  about  the  month  of  June, 
1907,  but  remained  only  a  short  time. 

Dr.  Hugh  D.  Grant,  like  Dr.  Weeks,  an  alumnus  of  the 
Baltimore  Medical  College,  began  practice  at  this  place  during 
the  latter  part  of  the  summer  of  1907,  and  has  resided  here 
since  that  time. 

LAWYERS. 

Ichabod  Jordan  practised  law  in  Milton  Mills  nearly  sixty- 
five  or  seventy  years  ago.  He  remained  several  years,  going 
at  the  end  of  that  time  to  Great  Falls  (Somersworth),  where  he 
continued  to  practice  until  his  death.  Wm.  A.  Kimball  was 
the  next  lawyer  here.  He  remained  a  few  years,  and  then  went 
to  Rochester,  where,  later,  he  died.  Frank  Weeks,  the  next 


HISTORICAL  119 

practitioner,  resided  here  several  years,  subsequently  removing 
to  West  Buxton,  Maine,  where  he  died. 

Edwin  Cloutman  practised  here  several  years,  until  his 
removal  to  Farmington,  where  he  practised  until  his  death. 

Forrest  L.  March  commenced  the  practice  of  law  here  about 
the  year  1900,  after  having  been  admitted  to  the  bar  of  Maine. 
He  is  still  in  practice  at  the  village. 

Milton  Village  has  had  but  one  resident  attorney,  Harry 
B.  Amey,  who  came  in  1897.  He  removed  several  years  later 
to  Island  Pond,  Vt.

MILTON'S  CENTENNIAL. 

EVENTS  OP  THE  DAT. 

"The  centennial  celebration  of  the  town  of  Milton,  held 
August  30,  1902,  was  in  honor  of  the  one  hundredth  anniver- 
sary of  the  first  town  meeting.  This  meeting  convened  at  the 
tavern  of  Lieut.  Elijah  Home,  August  30,  1802,  only  a  short  time 
after  the  charter,  which  gave  Milton  its  independent  existence, 
had  been  signed  by  Governor  Gilman.  This  instrument  had 


120  MILTON 

been  granted  at  the  June  session  of  the  legislature  of  New 
Hampshire  at  the  petition  and  largely  through  the  efforts  of 
Capt.  Beard  Plumer,  one  of  the  representatives  from  Rochester, 
who,  with  others,  felt  that  the  time  had  come  for  Milton  to  sever 
the  ties  which  bound  her  to  the  mother  town. 

"At  the  annual  meeting  held  in  March,  1902,  it  was  voted 
to  celebrate  in  an  appropriate  manner  the  closing  of  the  first 
century  of  the  town's  existence.  An  appropriation  was  made 
and  a  general  committee  selected.  As  a  result  of  the  able  and 
painstaking  efforts  of  this  committee,  together  with  those  chosen 
to  assist,  the  observance  of  the  centennial  was  made  eminently 
fitting  to  mark  the  close  of  the  first  century  of  Milton's  history. 

"Saturday,  August  30,  1902,  was  a  beautiful  day;  there  was 
scarcely  a  cloud  in  the  sky  and  the  temperature  was  ideal  for 
the  purposes  of  the  occasion.  Sunrise  was  accompanied  with 
the  ringing  of  bells  and  a  cannon  salute  of  thirty-three  guns. 
One  hundred  guns  were  fired  during  the  day,  a  second  thirty- 
three  at  noon  and  the  remainder  at  sunset.  Although  the  cele- 
bration had  practically  begun  on  Friday  night  with  the  huge 
bonfire  on  the  summit  of  the  historic  Mt.  Teneriffe,  it  was  not 
until  Saturday  morning  that  the  guests  commenced  to  arrive 
in  large  numbers. 

"Every  incoming  train  was  heavily  laden  and  hundreds 
came  in  teams  from  surrounding  towns.  It  was  the  largest 
crowd  that  Milton  ever  saw,  being  variously  estimated  by  the 
press  at  from  seven  to  ten  thousand. 

"From  8.30  to  10  o'clock  field  and  water  sports  were  held; 
from  9  to  10  o'clock  the  Hanson  American  band  of  Rochester 
gave  a  concert  on  the  Upper  square.  Then  came  the  street 


HISTORICAL  121 

parade.  This  was  a  fine  feature  of  the  day,  including  many 
beautifully  trimmed  floats  and  private  teams,  bicycles,  and  not 
a  few  grotesque  and  humorous  make-ups.  The  marshal  was 
Major  Charles  J.  Berry,  Milton  Mills,  N.  H. ;  assistant  marshal, 
James  F.  Reynolds,  Wakefield,  Mass.;  aides,  Clifford  A.  Berry 
and  Charles  Manser,  Milton  Mills;  Walter  Holden,  Wakefield, 
Mass. ;  Scott  Ramsdell,  Samuel  E.  Drew,  and  Fred  S.  Hartford, 
Milton. 

''Following  the  parade  a  good  old-fashioned  New  England 
dinner  was  served  in  large  tents,  on  the  Nute  High  School 
grounds,  to  over  two  thousand  people.  It  was  at  high  noon, 
also,  that  the  new  town  clock  in  the  Congregational  Church 
was  officially  started.  This  was  presented  to  the  town  of  Milton 
by  Mr.  Albert  O.  Mathes  of  Dover,  N.  H.,  as  a  memorial  to  the 
Rev.  James  Doldt,  who  was  pastor  of  the  Congregational  Church 
from  1850  to  1871. 

"Promptly  at  two  o'clock  the  commemorative  exercises 
began  in  the  grove,  on  the  Nute  High  School  grounds,  Hon. 
Elbridge  W.  Fox,  of  Milton  Mills,  Ex-Senator  from  this  district, 
presiding  as  President  of  the  day.  In  addition  to  those  upon  the 
official  programme,  Mayor  Bradley  of  Rochester  spoke  in  behalf 
of  the  mother  town  and  Mr.  Edward  P.  Nichols,  of  Lexington, 
Mass.,  treasurer  of  the  Great  Falls  Manufacturing  Company, 
delivered  a  short  address.  The  violin  used  as  an  accompani- 
ment to  the  singing  was  played  by  Miss  Annie  B.  Kimball,  of 
Milton,  while  the  old  violincello,  which  took  the  place  of  the 
church  organ  in  the  early  days  of  the  town,  was  restrung  and 
played  by  Mr.  Sumner  Hodsdon  of  Dover,  N.  H. 

' '  One  of  the  most  attractive  and  appropriate  features  of  the 


122  MILTON 

day  was  the  collection  of  antiquities  in  the  old  Worcester  House, 
itself  past  one  hundred  years  in  age.  These  rare  and  valuable 
articles,  from  75  to  200  or  more  years  old  and  gathered  from 
many  sources,  by  Mr.  Albert  0.  Mathes,  of  Dover,  N.  H.,  were 
intimately  connected  with  the  early  history  of  the  town.  Many 
of  the  interesting  buildings  in  the  village  had  placards  placed 
upon  them,  giving  the  date  of  their  erection  and  other  matters 
of  interest.  Among  these  were  the  following:  The  home  of  Dr. 
Stephen  Drew,  1820-1873,  built  by  John  Bergin  in  1773;  the 
house  in  which  Lewis  W.  Nute  was  born ;  the  building  formerly 
the  Union  meetinghouse,  1838-1859;  John  Fish's  house,  1794, 
where  was  located  the  first  post-office  in  1818;  the  site  of  the 
first  tavern  built  in  1787  by  Benjamin  Palmer;  the  house  of 
Thomas  Leighton,  1810-1860;  the  site  of  the  house  of  Gilman 
Jewett,  first  town  clerk,  1800;  the  site  of  the  first  tannery, 
owned  by  John  Bergin,  1773. 

"The  celebration  was,  in  every  respect,  an  unqualified  suc- 
cess, and  reflected  the  greatest  credit  upon  all  concerned.  All 
of  those  present,  whether  natives  of  the  town  or  friends,  felt 
that  the  observance  was  in  every  way  worthy  of  the  occasion 
and  of  Milton."

History  of  CUakcficld. 


Wakefield,  in  the  south-easterly  corner  of  Carroll  County, 
is  fifty  miles  from  Concord,  and  is  bounded  on  the  north-west 
by  Ossipee  and  Effingham  on  the  south-east  by  Milton,  south- 
west by  Middleton  and  Brookfield,  and  on  the  east  by  Newfield, 
Maine. 

The  surface  is  diversified  with  hills,  rocks,  and  ponds  and 
is  very  broken,  but  there  is  much  excellent  land  for  agriculture, 
and  the  soil  when  brought  under  proper  cultivation  is  very  pro- 
ductive. 

The  largest  body  of  water  in  the  township  is  East  Pond, 
situated  on  the  boundary  line  of  Maine  and  New  Hampshire, 
and  lying  partly  in  Wakefield  and  partly  in  Acton,  Maine.  It 
is  a  beautiful  sheet  of  water,  about  three  miles  wide  and  six 
miles  long,  and  formerly  bore  the  Indian  name  of  Newichwannoek. 
Not  far  below  the  outlet  of  East  Pond  are  Wilton  and  Horn's 
ponds.  The  Salmon  Falls  river  rises  in  East  Pond,  and  flows 
along  the  whole  eastern  boundary  of  the  town  of  Milton  divid- 
ing New  Hampshire  from  Maine. 

Lovewell's  Pond,  on  the  south-east  side  of  the  township, 
received  its  name  from  Capt.  John  Lovewell,  the  famous  Indian 
fighter,  and  is  about  seven  hundred  rods  long  and  two  hundred 
and  seventy-five  rods  wide. 

One  branch  of  the  stream  that  flows  through  Union  Village 


160  WAKEFIELD 

rises  in  this  pond;  the  other  branch  takes  its  rise  from  Cook's 
Pond  in  Brookfield.  Province  Pond,  a  pretty  sheet  of  water 
in  the  north-easterly  part  of  the  town,  and  Pine  River  Pond  not 
far  away,  are  the  other  important  bodies  of  water  in  Wake- 
field.  The  latter  is  the  source  of  Pine  river  which  flows  through 
Ossipee  and  Effingham  into  Ossipee  Lake. 

The  principal  villages  in  the  town  of  Wakefield  are  Union, 
Sanbornville,  Wakefield,  East  Wakefield,  and  North  Wakefield, 
all  situated  on  the  North  Conway  branch  of  the  Boston  &  Maine 
Railroad.  Population  in  1790,  646;  in  1900,  1,645. 


EARLY  PROPRIETARY  AND  SETTLEMENT. 

The  present  town  of  Wakefield,  formerly  that  section  of  the 
Masonian  Patent,  known  as  "East  Town"  or  "Eastermost 
Township,"  said  to  have  been  a  part  of  a  town  chartered  in 
1737  as  "Kings- Wood"  was,  April  27,  1749,  granted  by  a  vote 
of  the  Masonian  Proprietors,  to  John  Ham,  Gershom  Downes, 
John  Horn,  and  seventy-six  others,  all  described  as  residents 
of  Dover  and  Somersworth,  except  Noah  Emery  of  Kittery, 
Maine.  Soon  afterward  a  survey  was  made,  and  April  11,  1750, 
at  an  inn  in  Portsmouth,  the  lot  for  the  location  of  shares  was 
cast,  and  the  holdings  in  East  Town  (in  first  and  second  divis- 
ions) were  divided  among  the  several  proprietors,  of  whom,  very 
few,  if  any,  settled  here. 

The  first  tree  felled  within  the  township  was  in  1766.    The 


HISTORICAL  161 

first  family  to  remain  here  any  length  of  time  passed  the  winter 
of  1767  in  this  place.  The  first  settlers  came,  probably,  from 
Exeter,  and  were  soon  followed  by  colonists  from  Dover,  Roches- 
ter, Portsmouth,  and  other  towns  in  that  section  of  New  Hamp- 
shire. They  were  a  sturdy  lot,  most  of  them  young  men,  eager 
to  acquire  broad  acres  and  wealth  in  the  wilderness.  In  1769, 
there  were  eleven  families  here;  thirty  in  1770. 

Lieut.  Jonathan  Gilman,  the  first  settler,  married  Mehitable 
Kimball  in  1746,  and  in  1767,  settled  on  the  old  main  road  from 
Wakefield  to  Milton.  Capt.  Jeremiah  Gilman  came  with  his 
family  from  Exeter,  probably  at  about  the  same  time,  and  built 
a  house  opposite  the  "Old  Maid's  Tavern,"  where  he  lived  until 
May  1,  1791,  the  day  of  his  death. 

John  Horn,  a  native  of  Dover,  was  the  third  settler,  taking 
up  land  here  not  long  after  the  Gilmans  came.  His  lot  was 
probably  48.  He  was  the  first  town  clerk  of  Wakefield,  and  was 
one  of  the  most  prominent  men  in  the  early  days  of  the  town. 
He  died  in  1829,  at  the  advanced  age  of  almost  ninety-two 
years. 

Capt.  David  Copp  was  another  leading  man  in  the  early 
days.  He  was  a  native  of  Rochester,  where  he  was  born  Dec. 
11,  1738.  In  July,  1779,  he  bought  of  Samuel  Austin,  lot  37; 
but  owned  also  lot  15,  on  Sanborn  Hill,  where  he  built  his  resi- 
dence. He  had  been  an  ofiicer  in  the  Revolution,  in  which  he 
rendered  distinguished  service.  He  was  the  first  moderator  of 
the  town  meeting  in  this  town,  and  held  many  other  offices  dur- 
ing his  life.  He  died  in  the  year  1817. 

Deacon  Simeon  Dearborn  (1727-87)  came  from  Greenland, 
before  1770,  and  after  living  for  several  years  in  a  log  hut, 


162  WAKEFIELD 

erected  the  first  two-story  house  in  town.  He  owned  lot  42 
next  to  the  "minister's  lot,"  44.  He,  too,  was  a  prominent 
man,  in  the  early  settlement,  one  of  great  intelligence  and  worth. 
His  first  wife  was  Anne  Gookins;  his  second,  Martha  Haven, 
one  of  the  Portsmouth  family  of  that  name. 

John  Haven,  the  deacon's  brother-in-law,  lived  here  a  few 
years,  being  an  extensive  dealer  in  lands,  and  a  man  of  prom- 
inence. He  sold  his  house  and  the  lot  on  which  it  was  located, 
to  Joseph  Leavitt  in  1789.  "Leavitt's  Tavern,"  was  the  name 
given  to  it  later,  it  having  been  made,  probably,  into  an  inn. 

Josiah  Page  bought  "10  acres  in  S.  W.  of  42,"  of  Simeon 
Dearborn  in  September,  1773. 

John  Kimball  (1741-1807)  purchased  in  1768,  lot  40,  near 
the  lands  of  Jonathan  Gilman.  His  younger  brother,  Noah 
Kimball,  married  Mehitable,  daughter  of  Jeremiah  Gilman,  and 
settled  here  in  1770.  He  was  one  of  the  early  town  officials, 
and  a  man  of  some  prominence.  He  died  at  the  age  of  66. 

Lieutenant,  later  Colonel  Jonathan  Palmer,  a  veteran  of  the 
French  and  Indian  war,  was  a  native  of  Rochester,  where  his 
father  was  a  prominent  man  in  church  affairs,  and  h'is  mother 
the  "town  physician."  He  was  collector  for  the  proprietors, 
1770-74,  and  later  was  a  leading  Federalist  in  the  town  and 
State.  He  lived  to  a  good  old  age. 

Lieut.  Andrew  Gilman  was  the  son  of  Capt.  Jeremiah  Gil- 
man. Clement  Steele,  from  Brentwood,  was  an  early  settler, 
also,  locating  probably  near  the  Kimballs. 

Benjamin  Kimball,  tradition  has  it,  came  from  Dover  Point 
about  1768,  began  a  clearing,  went  back  to  Dover,  and  returned 
in  the  fall  to  build  a  house,  into  which  he  moved,  probably, 


HISTORICAL  163 

the  next  spring.     His  brother,  Thomas,  lived  nearby. 

Rev.  Avery  Hall,  a  native  of  Meriden,  Conn.,  and  a  graduate 
of  Yale,  came  here  in  1777  after  having  been  pastor  of  the 
Rochester  church  for  a  period  of  nine  years.  He  held  several 
important  town  offices,  was  a  large  land  holder,  a  leader  in  the 
organization  of  the  church  in  this  town,  and  for  many  years 
was  one  of  the  ablest  and  most  prominent  men  in  this  section. 

Samuel  Sherborn  lived  opposite  the  ''minister's  lot;"  Wm. 
Moore,  the  first  constable  of  the  town,  over  the  hill  beyond 
Simeon  Dearborn. 

The  first  settler  on  the  site  of  the  present  village  of  Union, 
was  either  Samuel  Haines  or  Joseph,  his  son,  who  came  about 
1775. 

The  Haines  family  resided  in  the  dwelling  opposite  the 
ancient  Pike's  Hotel.  The  Haineses  came,  probably,  from 
Greenland.  They  were  mill  owners  and  leading  manufacturers 
more  than  a  century  ago.  These  two  men,  Samuel  and  Joseph, 
lie  buried  directly  opposite  the  railroad  depot  in  Union  Village. 

Robert  Hardy,  a  mill  man  also,  was  an  early  settler,  coming 
here  from  Exeter,  in  December,  1771.  On  lots  5  and  6,  above 
Hardy's,  Samuel  Allen,  Samuel  Allen,  Jr.,  and  Abner  Allen 
nearby  were  early  residents.  They  carried  on  blacksmithing 
and  operated  a  saw  mill  near  the  Allen  bridge. 

Nathaniel  Balch  bought  lot  64  in  1776,  of  John  Horn.  He 
was  a  man  of  fifty-eight  years  of  age,  one  of  the  oldest  men 
among  the  settlers.  He  was  a  staunch  patriot,  a  man  of  wisdom 
and  high  moral  character,  and  attained  a  high  place  among  his 
fellow  citizens. 

Beyond  his  residence,  to  the  south,  on  the  Garvin  place, 


164  WAKEFIELD 

Eliphalet  Quimby  of  Exeter  settled.  His  daughter  Dorothy 
was  probably  the  first  white  child  born  in  Wakefield,  and  as 
the  date  of  her  birth  is  recorded  as  June  30,  1768,  Mr.  Quimby 
was,  evidently,  one  of  the  earliest  pioneers  in  this  section. 

Daniel  Hall,  with  his  wife,  Patience  (Taylor)  Hall,  of  San- 
bornton,  settled  to  the  north  of  Nathaniel  Balch.  Their  only 
child,  Hannah,  married  John  Sanborn. 

Samuel  Hall  of  Dover,  John  Scribner,  and  Reuben  Lang 
come  next,  and  the  families,  as  can  be  seen  from  the  records, 
were  closely  connected  by  inter-marriage.  Near  the  "Lang" 
or  "Lock"  schoolhouse,  close  by,  Jacob  and  Mehitable  Lock 
made  a  home  for  themselves. 

The  Weekses,  originally  from  Greenland,  were  early  set- 
tlers, and  have  many  descendants  in  this  part  of  the  county. 

Mayhew  Clark,  of  North  Hampton,  purchased  of  Capt. 
Copp  in  May,  1772,  lot  15,  "in  from  the  road  over  Tuttle's 
Hill."  There  he  made  a  home,  to  which  later,  his  brother, 
Jacob,  came  with  his  young  bride  to  remain  until  he  located 
permanently  a  mile  away  "near  the  sweep  in  the  North  Wake- 
field  road  that  brings  us  in  sight  of  Mt.  Washington." 

Nathan  Mordough,  of  Greenland,  bought  lot  11  in  1772, 
and  settled  near  the  Clarks  and  Weekses.  He  owned  lot  44 
also.  He  sold  one-half  of  11  to  Judith  Lang. 

Joseph  Maleham,  having  bought,  Dec.  13,  1793,  most  of 
lot  89,  of  Meyhew  Clark,  sold  the  "Wormwood  place"  to  Daniel 
Horn.  He  built  a  house  on  lot  90,  and  brought  to  his  new 
home  Frederica  Lang,  his  second  wife. 

John  Huggins,  from  whom  Huggins  brook  derives  its  name, 
lived  near  that  stream  as  early  as  1790.  Benj.  Safford's  place 


HISTORICAL  165 

adjoined  that  of  Nathan  Mordough;  on  the  Richards  lot  beyond 
was  Moses  Gage;  and  on  the  Lucas  lot  was  Joseph  Pike,  who 
had  a  brother  Robert  on  the  Brookfield  side. 

Near  Wakefield  Corner,  in  the  vicinity  of  lot  90  and  the 
schoolhouse,  John  Wingate  "broke  the  first  ground,"  and  not 
far  away  on  lot  54,  Eliphalet  Philbrook  built  the  first  house 
erected  in  that  vicinity.  John  Wingate  was  one  of  the  select- 
men during  the  year  1780.  His  brother,  Joshua,  who  "believed 
in  witches,"  settled  in  that  neighborhood,  also.  The  Sawyers 
came  into  that  section,  too,  to  find  homes. 

Wakefield  Corner  continued  to  grow  in  number  of  inhabit- 
ants and  in  prosperity,  and  with  its  taverns,  stores,  and  numer- 
ous dwellings,  became,  about  the  year  1800  and  later,  a  centre 
of  trade  and  industry. 

Richard  Dow  from  Kensington,  whose  descendants  have 
lived,  for  many  years,  on  the  estate  near  the  waters  of  beautiful 
Lake  Newichwannock,  came  about  the  year  1781. 

Isaac  Fellows,  also  from  Kensington,  had  a  house  nearby. 
His  daughter  married  Levi  Neal,  who  lived  on  Tuttle's  Hill. 
Not  far  away  was  the  residence  of  Nathan  Dearborn. 

Jacob  Welch,  Jonathan  Binley  and  Ebenezer  and  John  Hill 
lived  near  East  Wakefield  station.  At  the  Pine  River  settle- 
ment (North  Wakefield)  were  Jacob  Clark,  Simon  Blake,  Sil- 
vanus  Wentworth,  Lieut.  James  Young,  Nathaniel  Cook,  and 
others. 

The  Wentworths  and  Waldrons  settled  "over  the  river." 

Thomas  Cloutman,  who  came  to  "Horn's  Mills"  from  the 
Piper  house  in  1779,  was  a  settler  in  Wakefield  as  early  as  1780, 
coming  to  this  place  from  Rochester. 


166  WAKEFIELD 

Benjamin  and  David  Horn  were  settlers  in  that  locality 
at  the  time.  At  the  head  of  Lovewell's  Pond,  was  the  home  of 
the  Wiggins,  Simeon,  Isaiah,  perhaps,  also,  Jacob  Wiggin,  men 
prominent  here  many  years  ago. 

James  Hutchins,  too,  was  one  of  Wakefield's  pioneers,  as 
were  John  Garlin,  Samuel  Chapman,  who  sold  to  David  Spin- 
ney, Christopher  Skinner  and  William  Blaisdell. 

With  this  account  of  the  early  settlement  and  the  men  to 
whom  the  people  of  Wakefield  owe  so  much,  the  "early  settle- 
ment" may  be  closed.  It  was  not  a  difficult  task,  for  we  have 
but  followed  in  the  foot-steps  of  the  Eev.  Albert  H.  Thompson, 
who  compiled  the  account  from  which  this  (with  changes)  has 
been  "boiled  down." 

Wakefield's  settlers  were  of  the  best  blood  of  the  colonists 
of  New  Hampshire,  and  there  were  few  weaklings  among  them. 
Theirs  was  a  difficult  and  a  dangerous  task,  the  colonization  of 
a  region  in  the  forests.  They  were  soldiers,  many  of  them, 
brave  men  of  determination  and  perseverance,  and  of  industry 
and  achievement,  who  have  handed  down  to  their  descendants 
the  legacy  of  a  work  faithfully  and  ably  performed,  and  of  a 
mission  fulfilled  to  the  best  of  their  ability. 


INCORPORATION. 

Wakefield  was  incorporated  Aug.  30,  1774,  by  its  present 
name,  during  the  governorship  of  John  Wentworth;  prior  to 
that  time  it  had  been  called  East  Town,  under  a  grant  from  the 
Masonian  Proprietors.  By  act  of  the  legislature  approved  June 


HISTORICAL  167 

22,  1820,  a  gore  of  land,  containing  all  that  belonged  to  Wake- 
field  on  the  northerly  side  of  Province  Pond,  was  severed  from 
this  town  and  annexed  to  Effmgham.  June  23,  1858,  an  act  was 
passed  severing  a  tract  of  land  from  the  town  of  Milton  and 
annexing  it  to  Wakefield.

and  bounds  of  the  Province  so  far  northwardly  as  to  make  equal 
to  six  miles  square  in  such  form  as  that  the  head  or  northerly 
boundary  shall  be  a  line  parallel  with  the  head  line  of  Rochester, 
and  the  westerly  side  line  to  be  strait  from  Rochester  line  to 


168  WAKEFIELD 

the  head  line  of  said  Tract  of  Land,  may  be  incorporated  and 
invested  with  such  powers  and  privileges  as  other  towns  in  this 
His  Majesty's  Province  usually  have  and  enjoy;  and  your  Peti- 
tioners as  in  duty  bound  shall  ever  pray.

HISTORICAL  173 

Haines,  Avery  Hall,  Abigail  Hall,  Richard  Dow,  Mary  Dow, 
Simeon  Dearborn,  Martha  Dearborn,  Mayhew  Clark  and  Mary

the  pastorate  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  White.  The  present  pastor  is  the 
Rev.  0.  G.  Baker. 

CONGREGATIONAL  CHURCH — UNION. 

The  Congregational  Church  at  Union  Village  was  organized 
during  the  pastorate  of  the  Rev.  Joseph  Fawsett,  Sept.  5,  1880- 
Sept.,  1882.  Prior  to  the  ministry  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Fawsett, 
Rev.  Geo.  0.  Jenness  had  preached  during  the  period  April 
22,  1877-May  11,  1879,  and  Rev.  C.  F.  Goldsmith  from  May

174  WAKEFIELD 

came  to  remain  until  May  4,  1888,  since  which  time  the  follow- 
ing clergymen  have  been  pastors  of  the  church  and  brought  it 
through  nearly  twenty  years  of  prosperity  and  of  great  moral 
and  spiritual  influence  upon  this  community:  Rev.  Hillis  Jor-

Dec.  1,  1902,  and  still  continues  as  pastor  of  the  church. 

The  members  of  the  church  at  the  present  time  number  fifty- 
two,  of  whom  thirty-two  are  residents  at  Union  village.  Mr. 
Chas.  W.  Page  and  Mr.  Chas.  S.  Boody  are  the  deacons  of  the 
church,  and  Mrs.  Helen  M.  Hanson  is  clerk. 

FREE  BAPTIST  CHURCHES. 

The  First  Free  Baptist  Church  in  Wakefield  was  probably 
at  North  Wakefield.  The  society  after  some  time  became  extinct. 

The  Second  Free  Baptist  Church  was  organized  in  1831, 
and  was  a  centre  of  influence  in  South  Wakefield  for  many  years. 
The  church  was  supplied  by  different  preachers  until  1835, 
when  the  meetinghouse  was  finished  and  dedicated.  Joseph 
Spinney,  one  of  the  members,  was  the  first  pastor  ordained. 
For  many  years  he  acted  as  pastor  of  the  church,  but  in  1854 
he  became  a  zealous  advocate  of  Adventism,  and  April  9,  of 
that  year,  withdrew  from  the  church.  Twenty-two  members, 
and  later  twelve  others  withdrew  also.  After  that  the  following 
ministers  were  pastors  of  the  church:  Elders  Cummins  Parris, 
John  Chick,  and  H.  P.  Mansur,  who  was  ordained  Oct.  30,  1862, 


HISTORICAL  175 

and  served  the  society  for  several  years.  He  was  the  last  pastor 
of  the  church.  Rev.  Mr.  Churchill  of  Milton  Mills  supplies  the 
church  at  present. 

The  Third  Free  Baptist  Church,  in  the  vicinity  of  East 
Wakefield,  has  become  extinct.  Elder  John  Brooks  preached 
many  years.  Meetings  were  held  in  the  schoolhouse. 

The  Fourth  Free  Baptist  Church  was  organized  at  Union 
Village,  July  22,  1868,  with  nineteen  members.  Rev.  Joshua 
A.  Stetson  was  pastor  for  a  year,  and  Rev.  Samuel  P.  Fernald 
preached  in  1859  and  1860. 

METHODIST  EPISCOPAL  CHURCHES. 

There  was  a  Methodist  society  in  Wakefield  as  early  as 
1828,  and  circuit  preachers  visited  the  people  here,  among  them 
being  Revs.  Roswell  Putnam  and  Herschel  Foster.  The  class 
was  accustomed  to  meet  at  the  house  of  Francis  Chapman.  A 
church  at  Union  Village  was  for  many  years  in  active  operation. 
Milton  circuit,  October,  1831,  A.  H.  Houghton,  preacher  in 
charge,  J.  Worster,  assistant  circuit  preacher,  held  quarterly 
meetings  at  Milton,  Union  Village,  Brookfield  and  Wakefield. 
1833,  July,  circuit  divided  into  Milton  and  Wakefield  circuits; 
quarterly  meeting  at  new  meetinghouse ;  John  Adams  and  Moses 
Chase,  preachers.  1834,  last  quarterly  conference  at  the  old

1882. 

At  North  Wakefield,  years  ago,  there  was  an  organized 
Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  but  about  the  year  1880,  a  new 
church  was  organized  and  services  held  in  the  new  Wesley 
Chapel 

Rev.  H.  T.  Barnard,  a  Free  Baptist  clergyman,  preached 
for  a  time  at  Leighton's  Corner  and  at  North  Wakefield.  Rev. 
W.  Burrell  preached  also,  and  was  among  the  foremost  in  secur- 
ing the  new  place  of  worship. 

North  Wakefield  was  then  in  the  Tuftonborough  circuit, 
embracing  Tuftonborough,  East  Wolfborough,  and  North  Wake- 
field.  The  old  meetinghouse  had  a  long  line  of  ministers,  and 
was  a  "Union"  Church  as  it  was  supplied  by  preachers  of  both 
the  Methodist  and  Baptist  profession,  among  them  Elders  Tap- 
lin  and  Hayes,  Methodists,  and  Elders  Walker  and  Olin  Page, 
Baptists.  Rev.  Henry  E.  Allen  preached  after  1880,  to  people 
at  Brookfield,  Hackett  schoolhouse,  and  at  North  Wakefield. 
Rev.  Frank  Chamberlain,  a  local  preacher,  supplied  for  a  sea- 
son. Revs.  Frank  Hooper,  Dana  Cotton  Fogg  have  preached 
here.  Rev.  Mr.  Yost  is  the  present  pastor. 

A  church  was  organized  at  Sanbornville  in  January,  1887, 
with  seven  members,  and  a  new  circuit  was  formed  embracing 
Wolfboro  Junction  (Sanbornville),  Brookfield,  East  Wolfe- 
borough,  and  North  Wakefield,  and  April,  1887,  Rev.  Geo.  A. 
Luce  was  appointed  minister  in  charge.  He  served  two  years 
and  was  followed  in  1889  by  Rev.  J.  M.  Bean.  The  church 
building  had  been  dedicated  in  November,  1887.  In  1889  there 
were  forty  communicants. 

The  following  clergymen  have  si%2eeded  the  Rev.  Mr.  Bean 


HISTORICAL  177 

as  pastor  of  the  church :  Revs.  A.  G.  Smith,  J.  T.  Hooper,  Crook, 
O.  W.  Bryant,  Lowell,  Geo.  R.  Locke,  R.  H.  Hughes,  J.  G.  A. 
Martin  and  W.  J.  Wilkins,  the  present  pastor  who  came  to  this 
church  in  April,  1907. 

ADVENT  CHURCH. 

Meetings  were  held  by  the  followers  of  Win.  Miller  in  1842, 
and  later,  and  April  5,  1852,  Elder  Joseph  Spinney,  and  twenty- 
two  members,  followed  later  by  twelve  others,  withdrew  from 
the  Free  Baptist  Church  and  became  a  separate  society.  The 
first  minister,  Elder  Spinney,  continued  as  pastor  of  the  church 
at  South  Wakefield,  which  had  been  erected  by  the  Free  Bap- 
tists and  Adventists,  for  very  many  years  until  his  death. 

Rev.  Joseph  Libby  and  other  clergymen  have  supplied.  The 
present  Adventist  supply  is  Rev.  E.  A.  Goodwin. 

A  society  existed  at  Woodman's  Mills,  also,  and  had  regular 
preaching  for  several  years,  by  Elders  T.  L.  Churchill,  Chas. 
Coleman,  both  of  Brookfield,  and  other  ministers.  Meetings 
for  prayer  and  conference  were  held  also,  with  Brother  AJonzo 
Wentworth. 

The  church  was  organized  about  the  year  1878,  under  the 
labors  of  Rev.  R.  F.  Emerson  of  East  Rochester.  For  a  number 
of  years  the  society  worshiped  in  the  schoolhouse  at  Woodman. 
About  fifteen  years  ago  a  church  was  erected.  Revs.  R.  F. 
Emerson,  D.  W.  Stevens  of  Effingham,  T.  J.  Coolbroth  and 
many  other  clergymen  have  preached  at  the  church. 

Rev.  F.  J.  Hadley  came  three  years  ago  and  is  the  present 
pastor  of  the  church.  The  society  has  grown  in  numbers  and 
prosperity  constantly  sijjce  the  organization  of  the  church  and 


178  WAKEFIELD 

has  a  neat,  commodious  little  chapel  at  the  present  time. 
ST.  ANTHONY'S  CATHOLIC  CHURCH. 

This  church  was  built  at  Sanbornville  about  ten  years  ago. 
It  is  a  mission  station  in  the  Wolfeboro,  Wakefield,  Milton  cir- 
cuit, and  is  supplied  by  priests  from  Gonic,  who  say  mass 
occasionally  also  at  Union  Village  in  this  town. 

The  Rev.  Fr.  Laroque  began  the  construction  of  the  church, 
and  it  was  finished  by  the  Rev.  Fr.  Lesard.  Father  Joseph 
Melancou,  too,  has  supplied  the  church,  which  is  now  under 
the  care  of  the  Rev.  Fr.  Godin.  About  thirty-six  families  attend 
divine  worship  at  the  chapel,  where  mass  is  said  every  Sunday 
during  the  summer,  and  on  Friday  morning  every  fortnight  in 
the  winter. 

CHURCH  OP  ST.  JOHN  THE  BAPTIST — EPISCOPAL. 

The  corner  stone  of  the  Episcopal  Church  at  Sanbornville 
was  laid  on  Saint  John  the  Baptist's  day,  and  the  church  of 
Saint  John  the  Baptist  was  consecrated  by  the  Rt.  Rev.  Wm. 
W.  Niles,  D.D.,  Bishop  of  New  Hampshire,  Sept.  14,  1877.  The 
first  rector  was  Rev.  W.  B.  T.  Smith.  Rev.  Wm.  L.  Himes  was 
pastor  during  the  six  years  between  the  winter  of  1881  and 
that  of  1887,  and  was  succeeded  in  September,  1887,  by  Rev. 
Wm.  S.  Emery,  who  served  until  January,  1892.  Succeeding 
pastors  have  been:  Rev.  W.  S.  L.  Romily,  who  remained  about 
four  years;  Rev.  Chas.  Bancroft,  who  remained  about  three 
years;  Rev.  Joseph  Ames,  who  remained  about  four  years;  and 
John  A.  Chapin,  the  present  pastor.

INDUSTRIAL  ACCOUNT. 

The  earliest  industries  in  the  town  of  Wakefield  were 
probably  the  mills  of  Messrs.  Copp,  Haines,  Allen,  and  Hall, 
at  which  lumber  was  sawed,  and  grain  ground  for  the  benefit 
of  the  settlers.  At  Union,  more  than  a  hundred  years  ago, 
there  was  a  "fulling  mill,"  and  very  early  a  saw  mill  built 
by  the  settlers  and  operated  by  them  on  shares.  On  the  site 
of  the  old  saw  mill,  Luther  G.  Gate  and  others  later  did  an 
extensive  lumber  business.  The  property  was  purchased  by  the 
Portsmouth,  Great  Falls  and  Conway  Railroad  Company  and 
operated  for  the  manufacture  of  car  stock.  The  next  industry 
in  the  old  mill,  was  the  chair  manufactory  of  Reuben  Sanborn, 
who  continued  his  business  there  a  few  years,  before  building 
a  factory  near  the  station,  where  he  carried  on  the  work  exten- 
sively until  it  was  destroyed  by  fire.  The  old  mill  came  into 
the  possession  of  J.  F.  and  G.  E.  Hart,  who  manufactured  lum- 
ber and  later  excelsior,  which  they  continued  for  years.  J.  F. 
Hart,  after  selling  his  share  of  the  property  to  his  brother, 
went  to  Tacoma,  Wash.  Later  J.  F.  Farnham  purchased  a  half 
interest,  then  the  entire  plant,  and  has  since  continued  the 
manufacture  of  excelsior.  About  a  dozen  or  fifteen  hands  are 
employed  by  Mr.  Farnham,  and  the  annual  output  of  the  mill 
is  about  2,500  ton. 

The  factory  at  Union  occupied  by  the  W.  M.  Lord  Co., 
manufacturers  of  excelsior,  was  built  about  twenty-five  or  thirty 
years  ago,  by  T.  C.  Pike,  who  erected  it  for  the  manufacture 
of  woolen  goods.  Mr.  S.  L.  Hutchins  purchased  the  mill  and 
after  manufacturing  excelsior  there  for  some  years,  disposed  of 


180  WAKEFIELD 

the  property  to  the  W.  M.  Lord  Co.,  which  began  operations 
January,  1902.  About  twelve  or  fifteen  hands  are  employed  at 
this  mill,  and  the  output  for  the  present  year  will  amount  to 
about  2,500  tons. 

The  present  site  of  the  brass  foundry  at  Union  has  been 
occupied  by  several  industries,  first  as  a  grist  mill,  then  an  excel- 
sior factory,  where  Chas.  E.  Varney  and  Frank  B.  Drew  carried 
on  operations. 

It  was  first  occupied  as  a  brass  foundry  by  the  Union  Brass 
Co.  The  property  later  became  the  property  of  Mr.  Edw.  F. 
Hamlin,  one  of  the  principal  share  holders,  who  has  since  carried 
on  the  industry  under  the  name  of  the  E.  F.  Hamlin  Brass  Co. 

The  woolen  mill  of  Arthur  L.  Taft  at  Union  was  built  by 
John  Meikle,  about  thirty  years  ago.  For  twelve  or  fifteen  years, 
Mr.  Meikle  manufactured  felt  and  carried  on  block  printing 
there,  until  the  plant  came  into  the  possession  of  the  Star 
Woolen  Co.,  which  remained  only  a  few  years.  Not  long  after- 
ward, the  present  owner,  Mr.  Taft,  acquired  the  property,  which 
he  still  operates  for  the  manufacture  of  woolen  goods,  employing 
a  large  number  of  hands. 

The  monumental  works  at  Union  were  first  used  for  that 
industry  by  Herbert  F.  Stevens,  who  carried  on  an  extensive 
business  for  many  years  before  selling  to  Chas.  "W.  Law  from 
whom,  a  few  years  later,  M.  L.  Johnson,  formerly  sheriff  of 
Carroll  County,  bought  it.  He  carries  on  a  large  business, 
close  by  the  railroad  station,  where  several  hands  are  employed 
in  the  turning  out  of  excellent  granite  and  marble  work.  Mr. 
Johnson  has  branch  works  at  Farmington. 

Until  about  the  year  1870,  Union  was  the  terminal  of  the 


HISTORICAL  181 

railroad,  and  a  centre  for  the  stage  lines  through  the  surround- 
ing country.  The  railroad  shops  were  located  there,  and  gave 
the  village  an  important  industry. 

In  1817,  there  were  in  the  town  of  Wakefield  a  cotton  fac- 
tory, a  carding  industry,  three  grain  mills,  three  saw  mills, 
three  fulling  mills.  In  1859,  there  were  five  saw  mills,  five  grist 
mills,  and  ten  shingle,  clapboard  and  planing  mills,  and  a  large 
amount  of  lumber  was  manufactured. 

In  1868,  there  were  seven  mills  in  town,  that  of  the  Pine 
River  Lumber  Company  near  the  Ossipee  line;  Luther  G.  Gate's 
at  Union;  a  large  one  near  Wakefield  Corner,  run  by  John  W. 
Sanborn,  and  others. 

Six  shingle  mills  were  in  operation,  and  shoe  and  salt  boxes, 
flannel  boards,  etc.,  were  made.  Tinware  was  extensively  man- 
ufactured, and  the  shoe  industry  had  grown  to  large  propor- 
tions. In  1872,  Wakefield  ranked  fourth  in  point  of  wealth, 
and  third  in  mechanical  business,  among  the  towns  in  the 
county. 

Sanbornville  owes  its  growth  and  prosperity  principally  to 
the  railroad.  It  is  an  important  junction  of  the  Wolfeborough 
and  North  Conway  branches  of  the  Boston  &  Maine,  and  is 
a  railroad  centre,  with  offices,  car  works,  and  so  forth,  the 
industry  affording  employment  for  many  of  the  people  of  the 
village. 

Other  manufacturing  industries  in  town  at  this  time  are 
the  saw  mills  of  James  Horn  at  Horn's  Mills  and  L.  P.  Wiggin 
in  that  vicinity,  the  mill  at  Sanbornville,  of  which  Mrs.  Lillian 
Rogers  is  proprietor,  the  G.  L.  Plummer  mill  below  Union  Vil- 
lage, and  the  mill  formerly  owned  by  D.  W.  Libby,  now  the 
property  of  Geo.  Chick,  at  Woodman's  Mills.

HISTORICAL  183 

duty  and  sent  home.  He  was  ordered  to  the  fort  and  served 
under  Col.  Dame  and  Capt.  Deering. 

The  town  voted  $80  to  five  men  who  enlisted  in  1776,  for 
the  expedition  into  Canada.  These  men  were  Josiah  Miggin, 
Benj.  Horn,  Samuel  Scribner,  Henry  Wentworth,  and  Jesse 
Wiggin. 

There  were  many  splendid  soldiers  among  them,  fearless 
patriots,  enured  to  hardship  and  privation,  loving  liberty,  and 
disdaining  suffering  and  death.  Their  names  may  be  found  on 
the  State  rolls  of  honor. 

WAR  OP  1812. 

Major  J.  G.  Hall  and  Lieut,  or  Capt.  Jas.  Hardy,  stationed 
at  Fort  Constitution;  Dr.  Richard  Russell,  surgeon  on  privateer 
Polly,  captured  and  confined  in  Dartmoor  prison;  Mayhew 
Clark,  sent  to  Portsmouth.  These  men  were  not  all  natives  of 
Wakefield,  several  of  them  not  coming  here  until  the  close  of 
the  war. 

Lieut.  Joseph  Parker  Smith  was  probably  the  only  Wake- 
field  man  who  served  in  the  Mexican  War.  He  was  a  graduate 
of  West  Point,  and  a  brave  soldier.  He  fell  at  Chapultepec. 

WAKEFIELD  IN  THE  CIVIL  WAR. 

The  patriotism  and  loyalty  to  the  Union,  displayed  by  the 
citizens  of  the  towns  and  cities  throughout  the  New  England 
States  during  the  great  War  of  the  Rebellion,  found  an  answer- 
ing chord  in  the  hearts  of  the  men  of  Wakefield,  and  they 
answered  the  call  of  duty  with  a  willing  and  ready  response. 
Thousands  of  dollars  in  bounties,  aids,  and  contributions,  and 


184  WAKEFIELD 

a  large  quota  of  men  were  freely  given  to  our  country  to  aid 
her  in  the  peril  and  conflict  of  the  four  long  years. 

Wakefield's  record  of  service  in  the  Revolution  was  nobly 
maintained  in  the  Civil  War,  for  the  men  who  fought  and  died 
to  crush  out  slavery  and  to  maintain  the  unity  of  the  Republic 
were  the  descendants  of  the  men  who  gave  their  all  to  win  the 
independence  of  the  new  born  Nation;  the  same  blood  flowed 
in  their  veins ;  they  were  actuated  by  similar  motives ;  influenced 
by  the  same  high  ideals.  In  field,  in  camp,  in  hospital,  they 
showed  their  worth  as  men,  and  their  bravery  and  heroism  never 
has,  and  never  can  be  questioned.  Wakefield's  military  record 
for  a  period  going  back  even  to  the  birth  of  the  Nation  has 
never  been  stained,  and  the  names  and  deeds  of  the  soldiers  of 
the  Rebellion,  like  those  of  the  men  of  the  Revolution  reflect 
the  greatest  honor  upon  their  native  town. 


EDUCATIONAL    ACCOUNT. 

In  1776,  the  town  voted  "£8  for  schooling,  one-half  to  be 
laid  out  in  the  summer,  the  other  half  in  winter."  In  1777, 
Capt.  David  Copp,  Daniel  Hall,  Wm.  Moore,  and  John  Kimball 
were  chosen  the  first  school  committee,  and  £11  were  voted  for 
schooling,  "One-half  to  be  laid  out  below  the  pond,  the  other 
half  above."  In  1778,  it  was  voted  that  the  school  be  kept  near 
John  Kimball 's  below  the  pond.  £30  were  appropriated  that 
year ;  in  1779,  £60 ;  in  1782,  money  sufficient  to  support  a  ' '  man 
school"  for  six  months;  in  1785,  the  interest  of  the  school  lot, 


HISTORICAL  185 

and  £24;  in  1798,  $200  including  interest;  in  1804-07,  $200. 

Early  teachers  were:  Elizabeth  Piper,  in  the  Hall  district 
in  1807;  Richard  F.  Dow,  Sally  Copp,  and  Samuel  Fellows  in 
1808.  Prior  to  this  time,  however,  Masters  Nicolson,  Robinson, 
John  Bosdel,  David  Glody,  Evans;  in  1795,  John  Dame,  and 
Master  Newlson.  These  were  all  teachers  in  town  before  the 
beginning  of  last  century. 

The  first  schools  were  held,  probably,  in  private  houses,  but 
in  the  fall  of  1796  a  schoolhouse  was  built,  to  be  followed  by 
several  others  later  as  new  ones  become  necessary. 

ACADEMIES. 

In  1815,  Mr.  Josiah  Dow,  a  leading  merchant  of  Boston, 
built  and  established  on  his  father's  farm  in  this  town,  Dow 
Academy,  which  was  dedicated  Nov.  6,  1815.  The  institution 
flourished  for  several  years,  having  an  extensive  patronage  from 
students  both  in  and  out  of  the  State,  the  roll  of  August,  1819, 
showing  a  student  body  of  sixty-three.  The  building,  after 
the  school  was  closed  several  years  after  its  foundation  was 
removed  to  Sanbornville  in  1886,  to  continue  its  usefulness  as 
a  hall  for  the  societies  of  that  village. 

Through  the  generosity  of  the  founder's  grandson,  the 
Wakefield  Academy  incorporated  in  1827,  was,  nearly  sixty 
years  after  it  had  been  closed,  revived  by  the  gift  of  one  hun- 
dred dollars  annually,  and  enjoyed  a  new  period  of  prosperity 
for  some  time.

PROFESSIONAL  MEN. 

PHYSICIANS. 

Dr.  Howe  of  Rochester  was  perhaps  the  first  regular  phy- 
sician to  visit  the  people  of  this  town.  Another  early  physician 
was  Dr.  John  Manning  who  was  probably  here  from  1790  to 
1800. 

Dr.  Thomas  Lindsay,  too,  must  have  been  here  very  early, 
for  he  married  a  Wakefield  woman,  Polly  Nudd,  in  1787.  He 
moved  to  Lincoln,  Maine,  in  1832.  He  had  a  long  and  suc- 
cessful practice.

He  died  the  following  year. 

Dr.  S.  W.  Roberts,  a  native  of  Alton,  and  a  Dartmouth 
alumnus,  practised  here  many  years.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
New  Hampshire  Medical  Society,  and  its  president,  1887-88. 


188  WAKEFIELD 

Dr.  Win.  B.  Reynolds  of  Acton,  Maine,  came  to  Union  in 
1855,  and  later  went  into  the  army.  After  the  war  he  went 
to  Lynn,  Mass.,  where  he  died. 

Dr.  John  L.  Swinerton,  a  native  of  Newfield,  Maine,  and 
a  graduate  of  the  Bowdoin  Medical  School,  practised  medicine 
in  towns  in  this  vicinity,  and  at  Union,  during  a  period  of  nearly 
fifty  years.  He  died  Nov.  2, 1882,  at  Union  Village. 

Dr.  John  E.  Scruton,  a  native  of  New  Durham  and  a 
Bowdoin  graduate,  began  practice  at  Union  Jan.  1,  1871.  He 
was  a  skilled  surgeon  and  physician,  and  enjoyed  an  extensive 
practice  throughout  this  whole  section  until  his  death. 

Dr.  Chas.  F.  Roberts,  born  in  Lebanon,  Maine,  Aug.  5, 
1860,  graduated  at  Columbia,  and  came  to  Sanbornville  from 
New  York  in  January,  1885,  and  practised  in  that  village  a 
number  of  years. 

Dr.  P.  T.  Haskell  came  to  Union  after  having  practised

before  removing  to  Concord. 

Drs.  Merrill  and  Robinson  practised  a  short  time  at  Union 
Village.

Dr.  John  E.  Stevens,  a  native  of  Wakefield,  came  here  dur- 
ing the  latter  part  of  Dr.  Rogers'  stay,  and  still  enjoys  a  suc- 
cessful and  lucrative  practice. 

Dr.  H.  A.  Moody  succeeded  Dr.  Haskell  in  practice  May

History  of  tTHddlcton  and 
Bttookfield. 


EARLY  SETTLEMENT 

The  township  of  Middleton  was  granted  by  the  Mason- 
ian  proprietors  March  21,  1770,  and  incorporated  by  the 
Legislature  March  4,  1778. 

In  1785,  the  inhabitants  of  the  north  part  of  Middleton 
and  those  of  a  portion  of  Wolfeborough,  attempted  to  get 
set  off  from  their  respective  towns  and  be  incorporated  into 
a  separate  town.  The  scheme  did  not  succeed,  being 
strongly  opposed  by  Wolfeborough  and  the  south  part  of 
Middleton. 

In  1794,  the  matter  was  again  brought  before  the  Leg- 
islature and  the  town  was  divided  by  an  act  passed  Dec.  30, 
of  that  year,  the  north  part  being  incorporated  into  a  town 
by  the  name  of  Brookfield.  The  town  was  settled  by  men 
from  Rochester  and  Lee. 

The  following  are  the  names  of  some  of  the  early  settlers 
of  this  town.  David  Varney,  Nathaniel  Varney,  John  Drew, 
Silas  Varney,  Aaron  Drew,  Eeze  K.  Varney,  Jonah  Keiinis- 
ton,  William  Buzzell,  Wm.  Clark,  Job  Allard,  James  Bry- 
ants, Nathaniel  Wentworth,  Isaac  Drew. 

Among  the  early  settlers  of  the  town  of  Brookfield  was 


HISTOKICAL  241 

Tabias  Hanson  a  Quaker,  he  settled  near  the  base  of  Moose 
Mountain,  and  looking  around  he  discovered  a  cave  into 
which  he  moved  before  commencing  the  erection  of  his  future 
habitation,  and  continued  to  live  there  during  the  time  it 
took  him  to  dig  and  stone  his  cellar,  a  part  of  which  was 
done  with  split  stone,  and  to  erect  a  house  thereon,  the  main 
part  of  which  was  two  stories  high,  the  cellar  contained  a 
spring  of  water  which  never  went  dry.  That  section  of 
Moose  Mountain  near  where  he  settled  is  called  Hanson 
Mountain  and  the  cave  Tabias'  Cave.  The  house  no  longer 
stands  and  the  land  through  which  a  stream  of  water  runs 
has  been  purchased  by  some  wealthy  men  of  Boston  and 
other  places  and  a  dam  constructed  across  it  sufficiently 
large  to  flow  a  number  of  acres  of  land  and  a  trout  pond 
established.  The  place  is  called  Mountain  Lake  Camp,  and 
with  what  the  proprietors  have  done  added  to  what  Nature 
has  done,  makes  a  very  attractive  place  of  it.

MILITARY  MATTERS. 

These  two  towns  have  a  joint  and  separate  military 
record  of  which  they  may  be  justly  proud.  There  are  few 
towns  which  can  boast  a  more  loyal  response  to  the  calls  for 
arms  than  these.  They  of  course  were  most  active  in  the 
war  of  the  rebellion  and  we  are  most  concerned  with  the 
names  of  the  men  who  were  called  to  serve  in  that  terrible 
struggle. 

The  list  of  men  who  served  there  as  we  have  it  given  to 
us  by  residents  of  the  two  towns,  may  be  incomplete,  but  we

have  endeavored  to  get  it  as  complete  as  the  knowledge  of 
these  citisens  would  permit.

FACTS  OF  INTEREST 

The  town  of  Middleton  is  in  fortunate  possession  of  a 
library  of  appropriate  and  useful  books.  This  library  at  the 
opening  of  the  year  1908,  numbered  1,362  volumes  and  has 
been  a  source  of  much  pleasure  and  profit  to  the  citizens  of 
the  town.  The  trustees  of  the  library  are  as  follows:  Jas.  D. 
Moore, Mrs.  M.  H.  Davisand  F.  A.  Orne.  Mrs.  M.  H.Davisis 
Librarian.  The  town  votes  an  annual  appropriation  of  $25 
for  the  purchase  of  new  books. 

MIDDLETON    TRAINING  FIELD. 

In  the  early  part  of  1800,  one  of  the  most  familiar  spots 
in  this  region  was  the  old  training  field,  or  "muster  field" 
which  was  large  enough  to  accommodate  about  2,000 
people.  It  was  equipped  with  all  the  utensils  of  war  and 
included  in  the  supply  was  one  small  brass  cannon.  The 
scenes  presented  here  in  the  famous  old  muster  days  were 
inspiring  to  the  hardy  folks  of  this  region,  and  the  associa- 
tions that  cling  around  the  event  are  not  entirely  forgotten 
to  this  day. 

The  cannon  sometime  before  the  Civil  War  was  carried 
to  Alton  and  from  there  was  demanded  by  the  national 


HISTORICAL  261 

government,  but  was  hidden  in  a  forest  to  prevent  the 
government's  securing  its  property.  The  attempt  has  been 
to  date  unsuccessful.

TOWN  MEETINGS  IN  BROOKFIELD. 

When  Brookfield  was  first  set  off  from  Middleton,  the 
town  was  without  any  Town  House  in  which  to  hold  their 
town  meetings  and  it  was  customary  to  call  the  same  at 
the  house  of  some  inhabitant  of  the  town.  In  the  year  1815 
the  meeting  was  called  at  the  house  of  Daniel  Wiggin,  with 
the  following  result:  After  the  meeting  was  organized  and 
they  had  proceeded  for  a  while  the  chamber  in  which  the 
meeting  was  assembled  broke  down  and  the  voters  all  fell 
with  it.  No  lives  lost  nor  any  one  badly  hurt.  The  voters 
went  out  into  the  road  and  carried  on  the  meeting.

in  charge:  Joseph  Goodwin,  John  N.  Frost,  Daniel  Goodwin, 
Enoch  York,  Bethuel  Ellis,  Joseph  Brooks,  Elijah  Curtis, 
Anna  Goodwin,  Eliza  Rines,  Mahitable  Clark,  Martha  Frost,

The  first  clerk  chosen  was  Enoch  York.  March  3,  1827. 
This  church  was  later  received  into  fellowship  with  the  New 
Hampshire  conference. 

The  old  meeting  house  which  104  years  ago  stood  near 
the  Enoch  York  larm  was  moved  by  Squire  Wingate  to 
what  is  now  called  Middleton  Corner,  upon  a  part  of  the  six 
acre  lot  which  was  set  apart  for  the  support  and  main- 
tenance of  the  Gospel  ministry. 

Latter  ministers  of  Middleton  were  Revs.  William  Buz- 
zell,  Elder  Butler,  Simeon  Swett,  J.  H.  Nutter,  Joseph 
Boody,  Joseph  Banfield,  John  York,  John  Swett,  Luther 
Penney,  Geo.  York,  Joseph  Brooks,  William  Blaisdell,  John 
Flanders,  Timothy  Cole,  Elder  Furnell,  Seth  Sawyer  being 
the  last  settled  minister  in  Middleton.  Since  that  religious 
services  have  been  held  regularly  by  different  preachers. 

This  Free  Baptist  church,  the  most  historic  building  in 
the  town,  is  occupied  also  by  the  Old  Home  Week  Associa- 
tion, the  place  of  meeting  being  on  the  second  floor.  This 
is  a  historic  place  and  was  erected  more  than  a  century  ago, 
is  in  the  center  known  as  the  Four  Corners,  and  around  it  is 
the  Town  Common,  several  acres  in  area.  The  seating  ca- 
pacity will  not  accommodate  more  than  a  quarter  of  the 
people,  while  the  addresses  and  musical  exercises  took  place 
in  the  church,  the  banquet  was  held  in  the  Town  Hall  on 


HISTORICAL  267 

first  floor. 

This  Landscape  Hall,  painted  in  1842  by  John  A  very  of 
Farmington,  is  famous  throughout  the  Granite  State  as 
the  Landscape  Church.  The  landscape  was  painted  to  rep- 
resent large  shade  trees  on  a  plat  of  ground,  which  extends 
around  the  four  walls. 

This  is  the  only  house  of  worship  in  town,  and  during 
112  years  it  has  been  used  as  a  meeting  house,  and  attended 
by  the  ancestors  of  the  present  generations.  Because  of 
that  fact  and  the  other  associations  it  is  held  dear  to  the 
heart  of  every  native,  and  all  denominations  meet  here  for 
divine  worship. 

Formerly  there  was  a  club  that  met  here  yearly  in  Sep- 
tember, spending  several  days  in  town,  going  over  their  old 
haunts  and  bringing  it  to  a  close  with  a  dinner. 

The  members  of  the  present  Association  declare  that  it 
was  through  the  annual  gathering  at  Middleton  that  the 
Old  Home  Week  idea  was  first  agitated.

win, Samuel  Varney,  Wingate  Whitehouse,  Robert  White-
